(2019·厦门一中高三模拟)Although it is less often read than such Wells' novels as TheWaroftheWorlds, the basic story of TheIslandofDr Moreau is very wellknown through several extremely loose film adaptations (改编). Prendick, a British scientist, has an accident at sea—and by chance finds himself on a mysterious island where Dr Moreau and his assistant Montgomery are engaged in strange experiments of turning animals into humans.
Wells was a social reformer, and his novels reflected (反映) his thoughts and theories about human society. Much of Wells' writing concerns (either directly or indirectly) social class, but Moreau deals with the thennewly advanced theory of evolution (进化)—and then works to relate how that theory influences man's belief in God. Wells sometimes mentioned this in his novels, but nowhere in his work is this line of thought more clearly and specifically seen than here.
Sometimes Wells tries to influence his readers strongly, while on other occasions, he does it gently. But in TheIslandof DrMoreau, Wells achieves a perfect balance of the two extremes. It is an impressive achievement, and in this sense I consider Moreau possibly the best of Wells' works. The novel is as interesting for the story it tells as it is for its themes that are still very important today.
Moreau is not as horrific as Wells' many other novels—he often included horror and cruelty in his science fiction. Still, this is not a book that you can read and then put away: it stays in your mind in a most disturbing way. strongly recommended.
