The Island of Doctor Moreau is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1896. It explores themes of human nature, identity, and the ethical implications of scientific experimentation, particularly in the context of vivisection and eugenics. The story is presented as a manuscript recounting the experiences of a shipwrecked man on a mysterious island where Doctor Moreau conducts experiments to transform animals into human-like creatures. This novel is notable for its critique of Victorian scientific practices and its influence on later works of science fiction.
