The Island of Doctor Moreau Timeless Classics

by H. G. Wells

Overview

A remote island. A mad scientist. And creatures that blur the line between man and beast.

When shipwrecked Edward Prendick is rescued and brought to a mysterious island, he soon discovers the horrifying truth: the island is home to grotesque hybrid creatures-part human, part animal-created by the unhinged Dr. Moreau through cruel experiments in vivisection. As Prendick struggles to survive, he's forced to confront terrifying questions about science, morality, and what it truly means to be human.

H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau is a haunting tale of hubris, horror, and the limits of scientific ethics that still resonates today.
