وصف الكتاب | HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.''All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil.''After taking an elixir created in his laboratory, mild mannered Dr Jekyll is transformed into the cruel and despicable Mr Hyde. Although seemingly harmless at first, things soon descend into chaos and Jekyll quickly realises there is only one way to stop Hyde. Stevenson''s quintessential novella of the Victorian era epitomizes the conflict between psychology, science and religious morality, but is fundamentally a triumphant study of the duality of human nature. |
المراجعة التحريرية | The best edition of Stevenson's supernatural fiction so far. The texts are very well edited, the notes are significant and unobtrusive for the average reader, and the appendices provide the perfect complementation for Stevenson's narratives of the uncanny. Roger Luckhurst's introduction is fascinating. A must. Dr. Antonio Ballesteros-Gonzalez, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. |
عن المؤلف | Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to Louis at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde. |
