Description: "Dr. Moreau, a scientist expelled from his homeland for his cruel vivisection experiments, finds a deserted island that gives him the freedom to continue torturous transplantations and create hideous creatures with manlike intelligence. But as the brutally enforced order on Moreau's island dissolves, the true consequences of his experiments emerge, and his creations revert to beasts more shocking than nature could devise"--P. [4] of cover.

Review Quotes: "The Island of Dr. Moreau takes us into an abyss of human nature. This book is a superb piece of storytelling."--V. S. Pritchett
