Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeThat H.G. Wells was a visionary is not any news and that with his scientific allusions he inaugurated unintentionally (or perhaps yes, who knows) a genre hitherto practically unknown as was Science-Fiction is also no secret. The point is that the imagination of English became prodigious and that applying suggestive ideas reached very remarkable novels. Some of Wells's knowledge were inscribed in the field of biology and this is the scientific medium where the present novel is developed.Dr. Moreau's Island pretends to be a work of scientific speculation around biology in a time when scientific curiosity moved the world. It was an ideal time to combine imagination and science and Wells was a remarkable example.But Dr. Moreau's Island falls short, leaving aside the aforementioned biological speculations do not hold too much (today), the literary part is not one of the best of the British author. If Wells had lengthened the novel and given it a more serious, philosophical or quite the opposite look: Funny, adventurous, we would find a novel that was better finished and above all addictive.
