H.G. Wells 
The Island of Doctor Moreau — Unabridged 

Long hailed as one of the great science fiction classics, H.G. Wells’ ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ tells the story of Edward Prendick, a shipwreck survivor who is brought to an uncharted island where he encounters Doctor Moreau, a mad scientist bent on experimenting with human/animal hybrids.

Described by Wells himself as ‘an exercise in youthful blasphemy, ‘ this story is a disturbing and fascinating look into the moral responsibility of scientific experimentation, the ethics of meddling with the natural world and, ultimately, what it means to be human.
