The Island of Doctor Moreau is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells, published in 1896. The story follows Edward Prendick, a castaway rescued by a ship that takes him to a mysterious island inhabited by Dr. Moreau, a scientist who conducts experiments on animals, transforming them into human beings through vivisection. The novel explores themes such as evolution, morality, cruelty, and human nature, and raises questions about the limits of science and man's responsibility in creating new forms of life. This edition, published by Plaza & Janés, presents the work in Spanish and is part of the Ave Fénix collection.
Herbert George Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote more than forty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is most known today for his groundbreaking science fiction novels; he has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
