Description
Shipwrecked sailors encounter an island where a godlike scientist reshapes creatures into human form, raising unbearable questions about nature, suffering, and the boundaries of creation. Wells' visceral prose and moral ambiguity make this a proto-modern exploration of scientific ethics that predates our current biotech debates by over a century.
