G. Wells is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into themes of evolution, ethics in science, and the nature of humanity through the eyes of Edward Prendick, a man cast adrift on a mysterious island. As he navigates this unsettling place, he confronts both literal and metaphorical monsters, challenging his own understanding of what it means to be human. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Edward Prendick, who survives a maritime disaster and is rescued by a ship called the "Ipecacuanha". He recalls the horror of his survival at sea and his fraught relationship with his fellow passengers, including Montgomery, who, along with an enigmatic captain, forms the crew. Upon gaining consciousness on the ship, Prendick senses an aura of discomfort and secrecy surrounding the ship's purpose and its gruesome cargo of animals. As Prendick prepares to disembark on that enigmatic island, whispers of the mysterious Doctor Moreau and his experiments loom in the background, hinting at the grotesque revelations that await him and setting the stage for a harrowing exploration of morality and the depths of human ingenuity gone awry.
