Description

The classic chiller, in which Wells issues a resonant warning against scientific obsession and the Faustian pursuit of evolutionary control. Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick is rescued by a vessel carrying a menagerie of savage animals. Tended to recovery by their keeper Montgomery, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island with his rescuer and the beasts. Here, he meets the sinister Dr. Moreau – a brilliant scientist whose experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilised world. It soon becomes clear he has been continuing the experiments – with horrific results.
