The text of the novel is the narration of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat who is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, a [[mad scientist]] who creates [[Human–animal hybrid|human-like hybrid beings]] from animals via [[vivisection]]. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including [[pain]] and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and human interference with nature.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-island-of-doctor-moreau-h-g-wells/1120353655?ean=9781499744446|title=The Island of Doctor Moreau: Original and Unabridged|author=Barnes & Noble|work=Barnes & Noble}}</ref> Wells described it as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy".<ref>Wells's description of ''The Island of Dr. Moreau'' as ''youthful blasphemy'' comes from his introduction to ''The Scientific Romances of H. G. Wells'' (1933; published in the United States as ''Seven Famous Novels by H. G. Wells'', 1934). This ''Preface to the Scientific Romances'' is reprinted as a chapter of editors Patrick Parrinder and Robert M. Philmus's ''H. G. Wells's Literary Criticism'' (Sussex: The Harvester Press Limited, and New Jersey: Barnes & Noble Books, 1980), see p. 243 for the line quoted.</ref>
''The Island of Doctor Moreau'' is a classic of early science fiction<ref>See Mason Harris's introduction and notes for the 2009 Broadview Books edition of ''The Island of Dr. Moreau''</ref> and remains one of Wells's best-known books. The novel is the earliest depiction of the science fiction motif "[[Uplift (science fiction)|uplift]]" in which a more advanced race intervenes in the evolution of an animal species in order to bring the latter to a higher level of intelligence.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Booker|first1=Keith M.|title=Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction in Literature|date=2014|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|page=311}}</ref> It has been adapted to film and other media on many occasions.
