Roman de 1896 qui demeure un prototype de tous ces récits souvent macabres puisqu'ils touchent la médecine parallèle ou hérétique dans la lignée de Frankenstein sur le sujet toujours actuel des greffes. Un court cahier illustré sur les animaux mythologiques complète cette édition pour jeunes (?).
The Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells, addressing ideas of society and community, human nature and identity, playing God and Darwinism. The mythic figure of the chimera, a human/animal hybrid, is brought into the scientific age. When the novel was written in the late 19th century, Britain's scientific community was engulfed by debates on animal vivisection. Interest groups were even formed to tackle the issue: the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection was formed two years after the publication of the novel. [adapted from http://en.wikipedi.
