Beschreibung
Edward Prendick is rescued from a damaged ship and brought to a small island where an infamous doctor performs a series of experiments on animals. Once exposed, Prendick becomes disturbed by his cruel and unethical methods. When Edward Prendick arrives on a mysterious island, he's introduced to its leader, the elusive Dr. Moreau. He's a disgraced vivisectionist who was forced to flee after his experiments were exposed. On the island he's created a human-animal-hybrid race called Beast Folk. As Prendick encounters these creatures, he begins to fear for his life. He attempts to escape the horrors of the land but is haunted by its ugly truth. Initially, The Island of Doctor Moreau, was met with controversy due to its twisted take on evolution. Wells' unflinching detail paints an unforgettable picture in the reader's mind. It's one of his most popular and adapted works, including three feature films from 1933, 1977 and 1996. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Island of Doctor Moreau is both modern and readable. von Wells, H. G.

Über den Autor
H.G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English novelist who helped to define modern science fiction. Wells came from humble beginnings with a working-class family. As a teen, he was a draper's assistant before earning a scholarship to the Normal School of Science. It was there that he expanded his horizons learning different subjects like physics and biology. Wells spent his free time writing stories, which eventually led to his groundbreaking debut, The Time Machine. It was quickly followed by other successful works like The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds.
