The Island of Doctor Moreau and other unsettling tales

Více o knize

H.G, Wells' timeless story of arrogance and monstrosity caused consternation when it was first released. Edward Prendick is stranded on a remote Pacific island with only a drunk and a disgraced scientist for company - and a whole, subhuman community of monsters spliced together from the bodies of exotic animals. Prendick must find a way through this madness and find his way back to civilisation - or die trying. This edition contains two bonus unsettling stories from 'the realist of the fantastic'. The Door in the Wall crashes reality headlong into imagination, and A Dream of Armageddon sets out a grim future vision of dark portents and impossible choices
