Cette édition présente le texte intégral de Robert Louis Stevenson accompagné des illustrations de Livia Caruso.
Court roman sur le dédoublement de personnalité, il met en scène un médecin qui souhaite vivre une vie de débauche par le biais de son double maléfique. Ainsi il a le plaisir de la transgression sans les conséquences que cela implique. Lutte du bien contre le mal à l'intérieur d'une même personne, rébellion contre l'esprit étroit de l'ère victorienne, tous les éléments étaient réunis pour plaire au lectorat de son époque. Ces thèmes en font un ouvrage très moderne et l'écriture de Stevenson est extrêmement plaisante. A lire absolument, car si tout le monde connait vaguement l'histoire peu de gens en définitive l'ont lu dernièrement.
The Gothic Trilogy : Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (unabridged versions) in one volume ! Three Classic Gothic Novels in One Book only ! 1) Dracula, 2) Frankenstein, 3) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- all three classics complete and unabridged versions by Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson.
1) Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel, and invasion literature. The novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film, and television interpretations.
2) Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because, in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films and plays.
3) Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" entering the vernacular to refer to people with an unpredictably dual nature: usually very good, but sometimes shockingly evil.
«Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable...» Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.
The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often called "split personality", referred to in psychiatry as dissociative identity disorder, where within the same body there exists more than one distinct personality. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr. Jekyll, one apparently good and the other evil.

Sénher Utterson, notari e amic del Doctor Jekyll, es tafurat pel testament qu'a fach aqueste en favor de Hyde.

In De Zonderlinge Geschiedenis van Dr. Jekyll en Mr. Hyde verkent Robert Louis Stevenson op meesterlijke wijze de donkere kanten van de menselijke ziel. In het Victoriaanse Londen experimenteert de gerespecteerde arts Dr. Jekyll met de grenzen van wetenschap en moraal, met fatale gevolgen. Zijn alter ego, de sinistere Mr. Hyde, belichaamt alles wat de samenleving onderdrukt en verbergt.Deze korte maar intense roman is meer dan een spannend verhaal. Het is een diepgaande reflectie op de dubbele aard van de mens, op de strijd tussen rede en instinct, beschaving en chaos. Stevensons sobere en krachtige stijl creëert een beklemmende sfeer die de lezer van begin tot eind vasthoudt.Meer dan een eeuw na de eerste publicatie blijft dit werk een onmisbare klassieker van de gotische literatuur en een fundamentele tekst in de wereldliteratuur. Deze verzorgde editie nodigt uit tot herontdekking en verdieping.Voeg dit tijdloze meesterwerk toe aan uw bibliotheek en ontdek een van de meest intrigerende romans uit de Engelse literatuur.
