Über das Buch
On a remote island, science has broken every boundary—and unleashed a nightmare.
The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), by H. G. Wells, is a chilling blend of science fiction and horror that questions what it means to be human.
The novel follows Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked traveler who finds refuge on a mysterious island ruled by the enigmatic Dr. Moreau. There, he discovers horrifying experiments: animals grotesquely transformed into human-like creatures through cruel scientific procedures. Bound by fear, violence, and strange laws, these creatures form a society that teeters on collapse.
Wells' tale is more than a Gothic shocker—it is a profound meditation on morality, cruelty, and the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition. With its themes of evolution, ethics, and the fragile line between humanity and monstrosity, the novel remains one of his most powerful works.
Shocking in its time and still deeply unsettling today, The Island of Doctor Moreau endures as one of the defining works of speculative fiction.
