Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick, the single survivor from the good ship Lady Vain, is rescued by a vessel carrying an unusual cargo—a menagerie of savage animals. Nursed to recovery by their keeper Montgomery, who gives him dark medicine that tastes of blood, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island in the Pacific with his rescuer and the beasts. There, he meets the sinister Dr. Moreau—a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilized world. It soon becomes clear that he has continued to develop these experiments with truly horrific results.

真心受夠瞭Wells 這種grotesque又thrilling的風格……各種不和
評分Wells大神就不說瞭。真是好牛X的introduction啊。。by Margret Atwood。連 “Moreau, Montgomery, M'Ling == the unholy trinity(father, son, spirit)” 這種七段變形的妖物都齣來瞭。。
評分讀的時候不覺得很恐怖,隻是故事很緊湊。但是讀完一段時間後迴想起來能嚇齣一生冷汗。活體研究是否該有所限製?人性與獸性的界限在哪?宗教信仰是否真的如此脆弱,它存在的目的隻是操控人類?小說引申齣很多問題。
