di H. G. Wells (Autore)

SPA Publishing, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A chilling blend of science fiction, horror, and moral inquiry, The Island of Doctor Moreau remains one of H. G. Wells’s most disturbing and thought-provoking works. First published in 1896, this classic novel explores the dark side of scientific experimentation and the fragile line between civilization and savagery. The story follows Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked traveler who finds himself stranded on a mysterious island inhabited by the brilliant but unhinged Dr. Moreau. Obsessed with pushing the boundaries of science, Moreau conducts grotesque experiments in vivisection, transforming animals into eerie human-like creatures known as the Beast Folk. As Prendick uncovers the horrors of the island, he is forced to confront unsettling questions about cruelty, morality, and what it truly means to be human. Wells combines gripping adventure with profound philosophical themes—humanity’s thirst for knowledge, the ethics of scientific progress, and the primal instincts that lurk within us all. The novel’s disturbing imagery and timeless relevance have made it one of the defining works of early science fiction and a cautionary tale that continues to resonate today. This audiobook edition captures the suspense, atmosphere, and moral weight of Wells’s masterpiece. Perfect for fans of classic science fiction, gothic horror, and thought-provoking literature, The Island of Doctor Moreau is as unsettling and unforgettable now as it was over a century ago.
