In HG Wells’ Lawyer The Island of Dr Moreau, a shipwrecked traveller finds himself alone on an island ruled by a mad doctor and inhabited by creatures who are at once both beast and human. He escapes… but that is only the beginnings of the story. This book is a sprawling history of the islanders and an alternative vision of our own times. Spanning more than a century, we witness the growth of Moreau’s legacy.
