The Island of Doctor Moreau

Book cover
When thinking about famous novelist Herbert George Wells, everyone first recalls The War of the Worlds and only then The Island of Doctor Moreau occurs. Like all books created by G.H. Wells, this one reflects the writer's ideas concerning social and economic structure and the contemporary society, as well as the popular tendencies in science popular at that time, including the theory of natural selection. In this novel we meet a scientist Pendrick who was saved by a miracle after his ship sank and finds himself on s deserted island. There Dr. Moreau and his assistant Montgomery conduct a number of researches and experiments aiming at turning beasts into more advanced and developed creatures which would resemble human beings. The characters are perfectly described and the plot itself is carrying away. Unlike movies, shot after the book, the story itself does not contain horror elements of scenes. The book is fascinating and bright, the ideas put in there are wise and deep... These make The Island of Doctor Moreau a story not only for one-time reading but for constant return to it.
