About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells. Read by Tom Haire In 1896 HG Wells produced the Island of Doctor Moreau. After a fateful shipwreck, a chance rescue, and offer of safe harbor, Edward Prendick must contend with a dark science. A man of science, Prendick must wrestle with the ethics of its passions. His inner struggle is illuminated by the island's outward horrors. Central to the themes are ethics, principles, and the extent of human compassion. This science fiction icon argues the true question of science: Could the cure be more dangerous than the disease? (Summary by Tom Haire )
