English author H. G. Wells published his science fiction book The Island of Doctor Moreau in 1896. (1866–1946). Edward Prendick, a guy who became trapped and was saved by a passing boat, tells the story of the book. On the island where Dr. Moreau resides, he is left behind. The mad scientist Dr. Moreau vivisect animals to create hybrid creatures that resemble humans. Numerous themes are covered in the book, such as suffering and cruelty, moral accountability, human identity, interference with nature by humans, and the impact of trauma. According to Wells, it was "an exercise in youthful blasphemy." One of Wells's best-known works, The Island of Doctor Moreau, is a classic example of early science fiction. The book is considered to be the first example of the science fiction concept known as "uplift," in which a more intelligent race interferes with an animal species' evolution to raise it to a higher degree of intelligence. It has frequently been transformed into a film and other forms of media. Englishman Edward Prendick, a graduate in science, is able to survive a shipwreck in the southern Pacific Ocean. He is taken onboard the Ipecacuanha, a passing ship, where Montgomery revives him.
