“An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.”

A shipwreck in the South Pacific leaves Edward Prendick stranded on a remote island where grotesque horrors alter his perception of humanity forever. For years the island has been the hidden laboratory of the brilliantly insane Doctor Moreau whose pitiless experiments on animals explore what he calls the plasticity of living tissue. Through cruel surgeries Doctor Moreau reshapes animals into human forms and sometimes even creates abominations capable of speech.

The relentless horror of The Island of Doctor Moreau will grip you immediately as you join Prendick on his most lunatic of survival situations. Appalled by the hideous experiments of Doctor Moreau, Prendick fears that he is bound for the vivisecting nightmare of the Doctor’s table and he flees into the jungles of the island. But he can find no safety in a place where the glories of creation have been twisted by visions of a madman playacting as God.

The Island of Doctor Moreau while being an exciting novel also delivers profound thoughts on the nature of humanity and its kinship with the animal world. Written at a time when the scientific community and societal in general were beginning to understand the animal origins of human beings and their evolution, the novel provokes a deep examination of this question: A human may be an animal but can an animal be human?

Intensely disturbing and always fascinating, The Island of Doctor Moreau represents some of the finest writing by H.G. Wells. Although perhaps not his most famous novel, it remains a classic that will make you never look at all those anthropomorphized animals in children’s stories the same again.
