Технические характеристики
In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Henry lekyll discovers a monster. First published to immediate acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man`s nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson`s reputuation as a writer.
Also included in this volume is Stevenson`s 1887 collection of short stories, `The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables`.
`The Merry Men` is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; `Markheim`, the sinister study of the mind of a murderer; `Thrawn Janet`, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; `Olalla`, a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; `Will O` the Mill`, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper; and `The Treasure of Franchard`, a study of French bourgeois life.
