About this audiobook
Herbert Wells’ “Dr. Moro Island” is one of the most famous and horrible science fiction novels in world literature, raising eternal questions about the ethical boundaries of science, the responsibility of scientists and the boundary that separates man from animal. After a catastrophe in the ocean, Edward Prendik falls on a lost volcanic island, where the genius, but rejected by the scientific community, physiologist Dr. Moro is founded. Together with his assistant Montgomery Moro conducts painful vissection experiments, trying with the help of surgery to transform wild beasts into reasonable humanoids. On the island, Prendik faces a strange society of “beasts” who live in constant fear of the Law and their Creator, but whose wild, wild nature is unwillingly rushing out, pulling the island to an inevitable bloody breakdown. Wells will create a deeply atmospheric, tensioned and dark narrative, penetrated by philosophical thinking about the human nature, religious fanatisms and the danger of the game in God. ** About what the book in three words:** Experiments, Beasts, Ethics. **Who to read:** Fans of classical science fiction and dark thrillers, lovers of stories about scientific experiments and isolation, as well as everyone who appreciates the deep socio-philosophical prose of Herbert Wells.
