Summary
The Island of Dr. Moreau
by H. G. Wells
Presented by Voices of Today
Narrated by Graham Scott, Andy Harrington, Denis Daly, and Lillian Rachel.
Apart from arousing the ire of religious fundamentalists, the propagation of the theory of evolution also stimulated discussion about eugenics.
In 1896, H.G Wells was stimulated to compose this dystopian fantasy about an obsessed scientist and his efforts to artificially accelerate the intellectual development of animals using bizarre medical procedures involving vivisection. Wells described the book as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy."
This early science fiction text is one of Well's most popular titles and has been used as the basis for many literary productions, musical works, presentations on television and cinema, and even video games.
