About this listen

Living in the 19th century and facing the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution, H.G. Wells wrote this haunting masterpiece, an evolutionary fantasy. The story's title character, Dr. Moreau, is a shipwrecked naturalist who becomes involved in an experiment to "humanize" animals by surgery. Dr. Moreau has been expelled from his homeland for performing cruel vivisection experiments.

On the isolated island, he finds the freedom to continue torturous transplantations and create hideous creatures with manlike intelligence. But as the cruelly enforced order on Moreau's island dissolves, the true consequences of his meddling emerge.

I loved this book and the narrator wasn't bad either. But, you can hear someone else doing a recording of the same book in a separate room and it is very distracting. It's almost as if there's an echo. It drove me crazy.

Great read, bad quality of recording...

Respectable author. But with the time and the era of the book and how people spoke back, then i just couldn't find myself getting into it. it was really dreadful with multiple attempts. eventually, I got through it, but I realized that although I would love to be the kind of person to enjoy this, sadly, I am not.

classic but...
