The island of Dr Moreau

Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick, the single survivor from the good ship Lady Vain, is rescued by a vessel carrying a profoundly unusual cargo - a menagerie of savage animals. Nursed to recover by their keeper Montgomery, who gives him dark medicine that tastes of blood, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island in the Pacific with his rescuer and the beasts. Here, he meets Montgomery´s master, the sinister Doctor Moreau - a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilized world. It soon becomes clear he has been developing these experiments - with truly horrorific results.
A parable on Darwinian theory, and a biting social satire, The Island of Doctor Moreau is a fascinating exploration of what it is to be human. Part of a brand-new Penguin series of H.G. Wells´s works, this edition includes a newly established text, a full biographical essay on Wells, a further reading list an detailed notes. Margaret Atwood´s introduction explores the social and scientific relevance of this influential work.
