The novel follows Edward Prendick, a shipwreck survivor who washes up on a remote island governed by the enigmatic Dr. Moreau. Here, in a hidden laboratory, Moreau performs disturbing experiments, turning animals into humanoid creatures. As Prendick unravels the horrors of the island, heās forced to confront the boundaries of science, morality, and what it means to be human. Exploring themes of identity, cruelty, and the illusion of civilization, this novel is a chilling meditation on the dangers of unchecked experimentation and the fragility of our humanity. āļø About H.
