  H.G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau is a chilling and thought-provoking science fiction novel that explores the dark boundaries between science, ethics, and humanity. After a shipwreck, Edward Prendick finds himself stranded on a mysterious island governed by the eccentric and unsettling Dr. Moreau — a scientist who conducts gruesome experiments to transform animals into humanoid creatures. As Prendick uncovers the horrifying truth behind Moreau's creations, he is forced to confront profound questions about evolution, morality, and what it means to be human.The novel masterfully combines elements of horror, science fiction, and philosophical allegory. Wells uses the remote island setting to examine themes of cruelty, identity, and the thin veneer of civilization. First published in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau remains a timeless classic that challenges readers to reflect on the ethical limits of scientific ambition.

  Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
  BOOK 10. THE 5TH OF JUNE, 1832: Of what is revolt composed? Of nothing and of everything. Of an electricity disengaged, little by little, of a flame suddenly darting forth, of a wandering force, of a passing breath. This breath encounters heads which speak, brains which dream, souls which suffer, passions which burn, wretchedness which howls, and bears them away.

  Winner of the Pulitzer Prize 
  Edith Wharton brings the glamorous Gilded Age to life in this acclaimed 1920 novel. Distinguished heir Newland Archer is happily engaged to proper society darling May Welland–until the day he meets her cousin, the scandalous and bold (and married) Countess Ellen Olenska. Suddenly, his carefully planned future feels restrictive and stale. Ellen represents possibilities Newland has never before imagined, but is he already too entrenched in New York society to take such a leap? Tradition, progress, and obligation vibrate with tension in the book that established Wharton as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize.
