Description
The Invisible Man and The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells are two of the author’s most famous and enduring science fiction novels, each exploring themes of human nature, ethics, and the consequences of scientific experimentation.
The Invisible Man tells the story of Griffin, a scientist who discovers how to make himself invisible. However, his newfound power drives him to madness, as he uses his invisibility for destructive purposes. The novel explores the moral implications of scientific discovery and the dangers of unchecked ambition, while also delving into the isolation and psychological decline that Griffin experiences as he becomes increasingly detached from humanity.
The Island of Dr. Moreau follows Edward Prendick, who finds himself stranded on a mysterious island where Dr. Moreau, a once-respected scientist, is conducting cruel experiments on animals, transforming them into human-like creatures. The novel raises questions about the ethics of experimentation, the nature of humanity, and the boundary between man and animal, while also delving into the darker side of human desire and power.
Both novels are masterpieces of speculative fiction, exploring the consequences of scientific advances on the human psyche and society, and they remain relevant for their thought-provoking treatment of moral dilemmas in science.
