Notă biografică
Robert
Louis
Stevenson
was
born
in
Edinburgh
in
1850.
The
son
of
a
prosperous
civil
engineer,
he
was
expected
to
follow
the
family
profession
but
was
finally
allowed
to
study
law
at
Edinburgh
University.
Stevenson
reacted
forcibly
against
the
Presbyterianism
of
both
his
city's
professional
classes
and
his
devout
parents,
but
the
influence
of
Calvinism
on
his
childhood
informed
the
fascination
with
evil
that
is
so
powerfully
explored
inDr
Jekyll
and
Mr
Hyde.
Stevenson
suffered
from
a
severe
respiratory
disease
from
his
twenties
onwards,
leading
him
to
settle
in
the
gentle
climate
of
Samoa
with
his
American
wife,
Fanny
Osbourne.
Descriere
Part of a special set of 10 hardcover classics, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, that innovatively use foil and a special new binding material to create a highly collectible set.
'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil'.
Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.
