Saved from a shipwreck, Edward Prendick is put ashore on a remote island in the Pacific, home to a banished scientist, Dr Moreau, and his assistant. At night, screams come from the laboratory. The island's strange inhabitants recite a Law like a prayer: “Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law.”
H. G. Wells asks a question that is still with us: how far does science have the right to go, and what separates man from animal?
Full of suspense, this novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
