About the book

After the Lady Vain is shipwrecked, Edward Prendick is plucked from the waves by a passing ship and deposited on a remote island. Here he is the guest of Dr Moreau, whose notorious scientific methods had caused an uproar that left him with no choice but to flee London.

Disquieted and appalled by the pained cries of suffering animals, Edward soon realizes that the Doctor is continuing and developing his depraved experiments, and that he too is in great danger.

Shocking and suffused with contemporary fears regarding the morality of the latest advances in science and their possible implications for religion, The Island of Dr Moreau is both a ruthless social satire and an exploration of human nature.

Ein Schiffsunglück, eine einsame Insel, ein geheimnisvoller Doktor, grausame Experimente, seltsame Kreaturen - einmal umrühren und fertig ist ein erstaunlich zeitloser Klassiker. Und im Hintergrund schwebt die Frage, was einen Menschen zu einem Menschen macht.

Just amazing.
I love the way Wells picks up the topics he wants to discuss and shows the reader clearly where the issue lies. This book as a statement towards animal cruelty by showing off humanly and animalistic cruelty is amazing to show the aftermath of animal experiments. Especially written in a time as H. G. Wells lived. I love this author and I loved this book.

There are some more lengthy parts, but it's quite a good story nonetheless, exploring the boundaries between human and animal (or monster).
