Literary Escapades. H. G. Wells: ‚The Island of Doctor Moreau‘
This novel is in large part a study on the moral boundaries of science: The arguably mad name character performs unscrupulous experiments throughout the book. As the distinctions between humans and animals are dangerously blurred, horrific realities in regards to violence and ruthlessness unravel.
