Résumé : "The Island of Doctor Moreau" is a science fiction novel written by the English author H.G. Wells. It was first published in 1896. The novel tells the story of Edward Prendick, a shipwreck survivor who is rescued and brought to a remote island. There, he discovers that the island is home to Doctor Moreau, a brilliant but morally questionable scientist who conducts gruesome experiments in vivisection to transform animals into human-like creatures. Prendick becomes entangled in the ethical and moral dilemmas of Moreau's work and the disturbing society of the island. "The Island of Doctor Moreau" explores themes of ethics, science, and the boundaries between humans and animals. It raises questions about the consequences of scientific experimentation and the implications of tampering with the natural order. H.G. Wells is known for his thought-provoking science fiction works, and this novel is no exception. It continues to be studied and adapted in various forms due to its exploration of these enduring and complex themes.
