He is taken to the island home of Doctor Moreau, who creates human-like hybrid beings from animals via vivisection. On the island, Edward will have to confront cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and human interference with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eH. G. Wells is credited with the popularisation of time travel in 1895 with \u003cem\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/em\u003e, introducing the idea of time being the \"fourth dimension\" a decade before the publication of Einstein's first Relativity papers. In 1896, he imagined a mad scientist creating human-like beings from animals in \u003cem\u003eThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/em\u003e, which created a growing interest in animal welfare throughout Europe. In 1897 with \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Man\u003c\/em\u003e, Wells shows how a formula could render one invisible, recognizing that an invisible eye would not be able to focus, thus rendering the invisible man blind. With \u003cem\u003eThe War of the Worlds \u003c\/em\u003ein 1898, Wells established the idea that an advanced civilization could live on Mars, popularising the term 'martian' and the idea that aliens could invade Earth.\u003c\/p\u003eThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45082163478667,"sku":"9781774766460","price":76.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/ZTQ3M3R5czhNaWJoSi93NXY1a01IQT09.webp?v=1768078354","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/the-island-of-doctor-moreau-royal-collectors-edition-case-laminate-hardcover-with-jacket-hardcover","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
