Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick, the single survivor from the good ship Lady Vain, is rescued by a vessel carrying an unusual cargo—a menagerie of savage animals. Nursed to recovery by their keeper Montgomery, who gives him dark medicine that tastes of blood, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island in the Pacific with his rescuer and the beasts. There, he meets the sinister Dr. Moreau—a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilized world. It soon becomes clear that he has continued to develop these experiments with truly horrific results.

评分Moreau在今天也就是个生物工程系的变态教授吧,但对于十九世纪末的普通人来说也许很难理解。凡尔纳时代的美好科学幻想被对剧烈搅动着生活方式变革的科学发明的恐惧取代,成为了Wells的小说里推动故事发展的motive,他的主角也都是被主流社会排斥的隐形人或者是被驱逐出境的科学怪人,如同同期的Frankenstein,折射出当时人们对于迅速发展的科学力量无法驾驭的恐慌。师从赫胥黎的经历让Wells在故事中考虑了更多的科学伦理,比凡尔纳走的更远更深入,虽然不见得更美。故事采用了有限第一人称叙事,改善了19世纪小说罗里吧嗦的特质,但是在9个月的时间轴里并没有安排太多的冲突,情节走的缓慢,带了一些闪闪发光的细节。过于明确的主题和不够紧凑的情节不是很符合现代读者的阅读习惯,是一本很有时代特色的小说吧~
评分Wells大神就不说了。真是好牛X的introduction啊。。by Margret Atwood。连 “Moreau, Montgomery, M'Ling == the unholy trinity(father, son, spirit)” 这种七段变形的妖物都出来了。。
评分Wells的风格很明显, Soc Gen 5
