Sinopse

In "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Robert Louis Stevenson masterfully intertwines themes of duality, morality, and the human psyche through a gripping narrative set in Victorian London. Employing a gothic literary style, Stevenson presents a chilling exploration of the dual nature of humanity, encapsulated in the relationship between the respectable Dr. Jekyll and his malevolent alter-ego, Mr. Hyde. The novella's structure, marked by suspense and vivid imagery, reflects the anxieties of a society grappling with the implications of scientific advancements and the shadow of repressed desires. Stevenson, a Scottish author known for his adventurous spirit and profound understanding of human nature, drew upon a rich tapestry of influences in his life. His own struggles with health and existential questions likely shaped the philosophical underpinnings of this work. The novella was born out of Stevenson's attempt to articulate the conflict within himself and the societal pressures surrounding him, serving as both a cautionary tale and a profound inquiry into the moral complexities of man. Recommended for readers of gothic literature and those intrigued by the exploration of the human condition, Stevenson's work invites a deep reflection on identity and morality. This classic unabridged edition is essential for anyone seeking to delve into the darker elements of human nature, making it a timeless addition to the literary canon.

    Graveyard The - A Short Story...

    At the end of our days we will most likely lie for eternity in the cemetery or graveyard.  Many of these, now wreathed in time, have a romance and overgrown beauty as nature keeps and shelters the dead.  These acres may be the final resting place for those who have passed but for those who visit peace may not be as easy to find.  Grief may still pull at the heart, memories continue to overwhelm, or, even those drawn simply by its history, may encounter different feelings or experiences once inside these cities of the dead.  
     
    For our varied and talented authors, a major theme, or indeed character of the stories in this volume is that very location, and how they weave it into their narratives is both fascinating, enlightening and a wonderfully distinct way of telling classic short stories.
