THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU - H G WELLS TASCHENBUCH

After the Lady Vain is shipwrecked  Edward Prendick is plucked from the waves by a passing ship
and deposited on a remote island. Here he is the guest of Dr Moreau  whose notorious scientific
methods had caused an uproar that left him with no choice but to flee London. Disquieted and
appalled by the pained cries of suffering animals  Edward soon realizes that the Doctor is
continuing and developing his depraved experiments  and that he too is in great danger.
Shocking and suffused with contemporary fears regarding the morality of the latest advances in
science and their possible implications for religion  The Island of Dr Moreau is both a
ruthless social satire and an exploration of human nature.
