The Island of Doctor Moreau and Other Stories

Giới thiệu The Island of Doctor Moreau and Other Stories

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Emily Alder, Lecturer in Literature and Culture at Edinburgh Napier University


'Each time I dip a living creature into the bath of burning pain, I
say: this time I will burn out all the animal, this time I will make a
rational creature of my own!' declares Doctor Moreau to hapless narrator
Edward Prendick.



Moreau's highly controversial methods and ambitions conflict with the
religious, moral and scientific norms of his day and Wells later called The Island of Doctor Moreau
'a youthful exercise in blasphemy'. Today his vivid depictions of the
Beast People still strike modern readers with an uncanny glimpse of the
animal in the human, while the behaviour of humans leave us wondering
who is the most monstrous after all.
