kirchreads 's review for:
L'isola del dottor Moreau
by H.G. Wells
Classic. Epic. Prophetic.
I imagine the world when this was written was not so very different from the modern one in which we live today. Wells very aptly caught a glimpse of the animal potential within all of us and captured it poignantly on the pages of this book. It's intriguing and scary and delightful and awful - all at once. Read it with an eye for fiction and and a creatively thought up story, and you won't be disappointed. Read it again with an eye for the culture of the people around you, and again you won't be disappointed. Read it a third time with an eye for the image of God, carefully crafted into each one of us by a loving God, with an eye for the way in which our choices to sin have marred that lovely image, and with an eye for the uniqueness of that image (such that not even one like Dr. Moreau could reproduce), and - again - you won't be disappointed. Recommended.
