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.

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.

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.
