"Kauhun saari" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Edward Prendick, a survivor of a shipwreck who finds himself on a mysterious island inhabited by peculiar beings. Themes of horror and the exploration of human nature are likely central aspects of the narrative. The opening of the novel describes the harrowing aftermath of the shipwreck of the "Lady Vain," where the protagonist, Edward Prendick, is among the few to escape in a lifeboat. He recounts the desperate circumstances aboard the lifeboat, including the horrific decision the survivors must make when their food and water run out. Eventually rescued by a ship, Prendick learns he is on an island inhabited by unusual beings, including a mysterious doctor and his grotesque assistant. The unsettling atmosphere and strange encounters set the stage for a tale steeped in suspense and marvel, hinting at deeper horrors to unfold as the narrative progresses.
