With neither food to eat nor water to drink, death seemed a certainty. But miraculously, Edward Prendick survived. Yet what he was to encounter in the days ahead was more horrible and terrifying than any death he could ever have imagined. For the island on which he landed was the home of the infamous Dr. Moreau. Exiled from England because of his gruesome experiments in vivisection, Moreau has taken up residence in this remote paradise in order to continue his work. His goal: To create a new, superior race of beings! His legacy, however, would prove to be a nightmare beyond comprehension...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.G. Wells's science fiction classic, The Island of Doctor Moreau, asks the reader to consider the limits of natural science and the distinction between men and beasts. A strange mix of science fiction, romance, and philosophical meandering, it is one of the standards of early science fiction.It begins with the protagonist, an upper class gentleman named Prendick, finding himself shipwrecked in the ocean. A passing ship takes him aboard, and a doctor named Montgomery revives him. He explains to Prendick that they are bound for an unnamed island where he works, and that the animals aboard the ship are traveling with him. Prendick also meets a grotesque, bestial native named M'ling who appears to be Montgomery's manservant.When they arrive on the island, however, both the captain of the ship and Doctor Moreau refuse to take Prendick. The crew pushes him back into the lifeboat from which they rescued him, but seeing that the ship really intends to abandom him, the islanders take pity and end up coming back for him. Montgomery introduces him to Doctor Moreau, a cold and precise man who conducts research on the island. After unloading the animals from the boat, they decide to house Prendick in an outer room of the enclosure in which they live. Prendick is exceedingly curious about what exactly Moreau researches on the island, especially after he locks the inner part of the enclosure without explaining why. Prendick suddenly remembers that he has heard of Moreau, and that he had been an eminent physiologist in London before a journalist exposed his gruesome experiments in vivisectionThe next day, Moreau begins working on a puma, and its anguished cries drive Prendick out into the jungle. As he wanders, he comes upon a group of people who seem human but have an unmistakable resemblance to hogs. As he walks back to the enclosure, he suddenly realizes he is being followed. He panics and flees, and in a desperate attempt of defense he manages to stun his attacker, a monstrous hybrid of animal and man. When he returns to the enclosure and questions Montgomery, Montgomery refuses to be open with him. After failing to get an explanation, Prendick finally gives in and takes a sleeping draft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThat H.G. Wells was a visionary is not any news and that with his scientific allusions he inaugurated unintentionally (or perhaps yes, who knows) a genre hitherto practically unknown as was Science-Fiction is also no secret. The point is that the imagination of English became prodigious and that applying suggestive ideas reached very remarkable novels. Some of Wells's knowledge were inscribed in the field of biology and this is the scientific medium where the present novel is developed.Dr. Moreau's Island pretends to be a work of scientific speculation around biology in a time when scientific curiosity moved the world. It was an ideal time to combine imagination and science and Wells was a remarkable example.But Dr. Moreau's Island falls short, leaving aside the aforementioned biological speculations do not hold too much (today), the literary part is not one of the best of the British author. If Wells had lengthened the novel and given it a more serious, philosophical or quite the opposite look: Funny, adventurous, we would find a novel that was better finished and above all addictive.

Book excerpt: The Island of Doctor Moreau Ranked among the classic novels of the English language and the inspiration for a number of unforgettable movies, this early work of H. G. Wells was greeted in 1896 by howls of protest from reviewers, who found it horrifying and blasphemous. They wished to learn about the wondrous likelihood of technology shown in his first publication, ENOUGH TIME Machine, not its prospect of misuse and terror. In The Island of Dr. Moreau, a shipwrecked gentleman called Edward Prendick, stranded on the Pacific island lorded over by the notorious Dr. Moreau, confronts dark secrets, unusual creatures, and grounds to perform for his life. While this riveting story was designed to be considered a commentary on evolution, divine creation, and the strain between human character and culture, modern visitors acquainted with genetic executive will marvel at Wells's prediction of the ethical issues raised by producing "smarter" humans or bringing back again extinct varieties. These degrees of interpretation put in richness to Prendick's escapades on Dr. Moreau's island of lost souls without distracting from what's still a rip-roaring good read.

Book excerpt: Often referred to as a "father of science fiction", H. G. Wells was one of the first authors to write a type of speculative fiction which referenced the advancements in science of his time. Characteristic of Wells's work is their warning against the unintended consequences of technological development gone too far. First published in 1896, "The Island of Dr. Moreau" is the account of Edward Prendick, an Englishman who finds himself stranded on an island in the South Pacific after being shipwrecked. The island is home to Dr. Moreau, an eminent physiologist from London who has fled England when his gruesome experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed. Prendick soon learns that Moreau has continued his experiments on the island transforming animals into human-like hybrids called beast folk. Worrying that he may be next on the list of subjects, Prendick flees into the jungle trying to escape whatever gruesome plan that Moreau may have in store for him. "The Island of Dr. Moreau", which was meant as a commentary on Darwin's theory of evolution, is a most uncanny prediction of the ethical issues raised by the science of genetic engineering in modern times and a cautionary tale of the potential dangers of science when left unchecked. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
