H. G. Wells
Full name Herbert George Wells.
(1866 — 1946)
A famous English writer who worked in many literary genres.
Wells is best remembered for his science fiction novels and is called a "father of science fiction"; his most notable works include The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds.

The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) belongs to the classics of early science fiction. It tells the story of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat and left on the island home of Doctor Moreau — a real monster who creates 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.
