Edward Prendick is rescued from a damaged ship and brought to a small
island where an infamous doctor performs a series of experiments on
animals. Once exposed, Prendick becomes disturbed by his cruel and
unethical methods.
When Edward Prendick arrives on a mysterious island, he's introduced to
its leader, the elusive Dr. Moreau. He's a disgraced vivisectionist who
was forced to flee after his experiments were exposed. On the island
he's created a human-animal-hybrid race called Beast Folk. As Prendick
encounters these creatures, he begins to fear for his life. He attempts
to escape the horrors of the land but is haunted by its ugly truth.
Initially, The Island of Doctor Moreau, was met with controversy due
to its twisted take on evolution. Wells' unflinching detail paints an
unforgettable picture in the reader's mind. It's one of his most popular
and adapted works, including three feature films from 1933, 1977 and
1996.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of The Island of Doctor Moreau is both modern and
readable.
