Annotation: “Time Machine” (1895) and “The island of Dr. Moro” (1896)-the first and third novels of the English fantasy writer Herbert Wells-became the early experiments of the author’s “attack on human complacency” and the classics of “warning literature”. Having moved 800 thousand years in advance, the traveler in time finds himself face to face with creatures, in which his fellow tribesmen are only vaguely guessed: the social stratification of mankind by 802701 went into biological, and distant descendants of the ruling class - pampered, sophisticated, weak elements - live in Dangerous proximity to degrading descendants of proletarians-predatory monsters-morlons who live underground, in a world full of all kinds of mechanisms, but devoid of light ... Charles Edward Prendik, who miraculously survived during the shipwreck, falls on a small Pacific island, where he witnessed ominous vivisective experiments of the brilliant and crazy Dr. Moreau, obsessed with the illusion of his omnipotence and boldly transgressing laws of nature
