The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

The Black Arrow

Olalla

The literary world was shocked when in 1889, at the height of his career, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently on the Pacific island of Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he began to use the subject material offered by his new environment, not to promote a romance of empire, but to produce some of the most ironic and critical treatments of imperialism in nineteenth-century fiction. In these stories, as in his work generally, Stevenson showshimself to be a virtuoso of narrative styles: his Pacific fiction includes the domestic realism of `The Beach at Falese, the folktale plots of `The Bottle Imp' and `The Isle of Voices', and the modernist blending of naturalism and symbolism in The Ebb-Tide. But beyond their generic diversity the stories are linked by their concern with representing the multiracial society of which their author had become a member. In this collection - the first to bring together all his shorter Pacific fictionin one volume - Stevenson emerges as a witness both to the cross- cultural encounters of nineteenth-century imperialism and to the creation of the global culture which characterizes the post-colonial world.

La freccia nera

Este breve y poco conocido ensayo de Robert Louis Stevenson es un pequeño canto a la vida. El genial autor de La isla del Tesoro, de El Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde y tantos otros relatos incomparables desvela aquí los ingredientes esenciales de su visión de la vida. Su amor por la lectura y por la naturaleza está contado con su habitual talento e ironía, y acaso con un punto de cinismo. Stevenson, lector impenitente, recomienda la lectura, pero antepone la vida a los libros; elogia la diligencia, pero se ensaña con aquellos que sólo se ocupan en ser diligentes y «resultan secos, rancios y dispépticos en las mejores y más brillantes etapas de la vida». Y nos recuerda que «No hay deber que infravaloremos más que el deber de ser felices. Siendo felices, vamos sembrando por el mundo anónimos beneficios, que nos son desconocidos incluso a nosotros mismos y que, cuando eclosionan, a nadie sorprenden más que al benefactor». Una pequeña lección de ética en el mejor sentido.

En defensa de los ociosos

The doppelganger, the ghostly double infecting the soul, was a popular fictional subject for late nineteenth-century writers, and it found its most brilliant realization in Robert Louis Stevenon's story of Dr Jekyll, whose reckless genius allows him to bring his own appalling double to life. The finest horror story in our language, Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde is also a metaphysical fairy-tale of stunning perspicacity. Also included in this collection are Markheim, A Lodging for the Night, Thrawn Janet, The Body-Snatcher and The Misadventures of John Nicholson.
