Ein englischer Wissenschaftler landet mit seiner Zeitmaschine in einer scheinbar idyllischen Zukunft, in der sich die Menschheit jedoch in zwei Gattungen gespalten hat.

Manchmal wird aber auch ein Eloi von den Morlocken entführt und aufgefressen.

Quan es compleixen 125 anys de la publicació, el debat transhumanístic torna aquest clàssic a l'actualitat. L'illa del doctor Moreau és una de les novel·les més pertorbadores que mai s'hagin escrit. Tal com va escriure Margaret Atwood: «Quan l'has llegit, difícilment pots oblidar-la». Jorge Luis Borges, parlant de les primeres obres de Wells, va dir-ne: «És un mirall que revela la idiosincràcia del lector i és també un mapa del món».
A l'oceà Pacífic un vaixell s'enfonsa i un dels nàufrags, Edward Prendick, és rescatat per un petit mercant que està transportant una càrrega d'animals vius —gossos, conills, una llama, una puma— fins a una illa encara sense nom. Per atzar Prendick és desembarcat també a l'illa, i allà anirà descobrint amb horror els experiments inimaginables que el doctor Moreau està practicant amb animals.
Wells no va ser un mer pioner de la ciència ficció, sinó un visionari amb una escriptura enormement eficaç que interpel·la el lector sobre el paper de la ciència i sobre els límits ètics en l'alteració de la natura.
