La otra isla del doctor Moreau

In the opening moments of the war, a space capsule is sabotaged while returning from a trip to the Moon. The balance: one person dead and another three adrift on a raft in the middle of the Pacific. Only one of them will survive: Shaw. And, lucky for him, he will be able to see the cliffs of an island dominated by a huge letter: M. The appearance of the inhabitants of this island surprises the castaway. Though human, there is something enigmatically bestial about them. The sinister genius responsible for these hybrids will turn out to be Mortimer Dart, a thalidomide victim fascinated by human deformities who has carried out a series of experiments that duplicate those of H.G. Wells' legendary Dr. Moreau. In one of his greatest works, a seminal history of science fiction, Brian Aldiss pays heartfelt homage to Wells and makes for a simply unforgettable story.
