The Daughter of Doctor Moreau - Silvia Moreno-Garcia Kartoniert (TB)

Carlota Moreau: A young woman growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate safe from the conflict and strife of the Yucatán peninsula the only daughter of a genius - or a madman. Montgomery Laughton: A melancholic overseer with a tragic past and a propensity for alcohol an outcast who assists Dr Moreau with his scientific experiments which are financed by the Lizaldes owners of magnificent haciendas with plentiful coffers. The hybrids: The fruits of the Doctor's labour destined to blindly obey their creator while they remain in the shadows are a motley group of part-human part-animal monstrosities. All of them are living in a perfectly balanced and static world which is jolted by the abrupt arrival of Eduardo Lizalde the charming and careless son of Doctor Moreau's patron - who will unwittingly begin a dangerous chain-reaction. For Moreau keeps secrets Carlota has questions and in the sweltering heat of the jungle passions may ignite.
