The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells audiobook.

Genre: scifi

A shipwreck in the Pacific leaves Edward Prendick clinging to life until he is rescued by a passing schooner carrying a brusque medical man, Montgomery, and a frightening cargo of restless animals. After a tense journey, Prendick is put ashore on a remote island ruled by the notorious Dr. Moreau, a scientist whose name is spoken with dread and whose work has driven him into isolation. Trapped far from any safe route back to civilization, Prendick explores the island's strange compounds, hears unsettling cries behind locked doors, and meets a community of eerie, humanlike figures who live by a set of rigid, chantlike rules enforced through fear and ritual. As he pieces together what Moreau is doing, Prendick must decide how to survive among men who are not quite men, and whether reason and morality can endure where pain and ambition set the law. Chilling, fast-paced, and philosophically sharp, Wells' classic confronts the boundaries between human and animal, the ethics of experimentation, and the fragility of identity when civilization is only a thin skin over instinct.
