Two legendary Sci-Classics. Still as entertaining and thought-provoking now as they were over 100 years ago.Frankenstein Review: [..]Island of Dr Moreau Review: [...]While the title may suggest something about cloning or eugenics, it is really just a handy way for the publisher to package two classic horror novels about humans who "played God" -- cautionary tales that might be appropriate reading for a range of literature-based courses on technology, ethics, science, environmentalism. There isn't much of an introduction here, and so the only thing that would draw you to this text is to read Shelley's Frankenstein and/or Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau. Both exceptional and interesting novels -- though written by authors who had very different aims and outlooks.Classic literature and therefore a must-read.
