The Island of Doctor Moreau
(eBook)
Description
Celebrate the march of progress with this timeless sci-fi classic penned by a Victorian master. "The Island of Doctor Moreau" (1896) depicts a castaway's adventures on a hellish island. The mad scientist Moreau has created abominable human-like creatures through a series of inhumane experiments. This blasphemy soon spells his end. Praising the wonders and limitless possibilities of science and the imagination, Wells' novel is a joyride in madness and horror. It is also filled with social and philosophical criticism of evolution, creation and the problematic relationship between man and nature. In many ways it is even more relevant today than on the day of its initial release. This novel is recommended reading to all fans of classic science fiction literature. This classic has been adapted countless times for virtually every medium, including a 1996 film starring Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer.
