| Summary |
"Dr. Moreau szigete: Regény" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Edward Prendick, who survives a shipwreck aboard the "Lady Vain" and discovers a mysterious island inhabited by strange creatures and an enigmatic scientist named Dr. Moreau. The themes of the novel explore the boundaries of science, humanity, and morality, leading to a gripping and thought-provoking tale. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Edward Prendick, who recounts his survival after the "Lady Vain" collides with a shipwreck and sinks. Eleven months later, he is found in a small boat, dazed and confused. As he recovers, he learns of the ship "Ipecacuanha", which carries peculiar animals and is headed to a remote island where Moreau conducts experiments. The early chapters set up a tone of suspense and curiosity, as Prendick begins to uncover the dark secrets of the island and its inhabitants, hinting at the moral complexities that will challenge his understanding of nature and civilization.
