Item Description

Vintage Penguin. #571. The Island of Doctor Moreau follows Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked traveller who finds himself on a remote island ruled by the brilliant and increasingly unhinged Doctor Moreau. As Prendick discovers the results of Moreau’s experiments—animals remade into humanlike beings through surgery and coercion—the island becomes a place of fear, instability and moral collapse. The fragile society Moreau has imposed on his creations begins to break down, forcing Prendick to confront both the horrors of the experiments and the blurred boundary between humanity and brutality. In its Penguin edition, the novel offers a stark, unsettling exploration of scientific hubris, cruelty and the uneasy nature of civilisation.
