Antony, in the genre(s) science fiction
The Island of Doctor Moreau is a classic science fiction tale addressing the ideals of society, community, identity and human nature.
The dangers of modern science and the impact of playing God with life is the main drive behind this intelligent tale. While this book was written over 110 years ago (1896) the ideas and issues are even more relevant today (animal cloning and genetic manipulation) than they ever have been.
The mythic figure of the chimera, a human/animal hybrid, is brought into the scientific age.
