More about the book
Set against the backdrop of a remote tropical island, the narrative explores the disturbing experiments of Dr. Moreau, who transforms animals into grotesque human-like beings. Edward Prendick, an Englishman drawn to the island by misfortune, encounters the chilling civilization of the Beast Folk and witnesses their horrifying decline. The novel serves as a provocative commentary on Darwin's theory of evolution, raising ethical concerns about scientific experimentation that resonate even in today's discussions of gene-splicing and bioengineering.
