The Island Of Doctor Moreau by Hg Wells
Shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted tropical island, Charles Prendick stumbles across the horror of Dr Moreau's laboratory, where the latter creates dehumanized beasts. Soon, however, the beasts turn on Moreau and tear him apart, leaving Prendick to fight for his survival.
H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884, studying under T. H. Huxley. He was awarded a first-class honours degree in biology and resumed teaching but had to retire after a kick from an ill-natured pupil afflicted his kidneys. He worked in poverty in London as a crammer while experimenting in journalism and stories. It was with THE TIME MACHINE (1895) that he had his real breakthrough.
