Penguin English Library Dr Jekyll Adn Mr Hyde (The Penguin English Library)

The Penguin English Library Edition of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson '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.

The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Rezension von CharEnglish below Der Klappentext verriet von Anfang an alles, und ich frage mich, wie die Leser zu Stevensons Zeiten das Buch genossen haben, als sie die Wahrheit beim Lesen entdeckten (und sie möglicherweise vorher befürchteten). Ich mochte den Schauplatz des Alptraums und die Idee des Versteckspiels, das Utterson und Hyde betreiben. Ich freue mich schon darauf, das Thema der gespaltenen Persönlichkeit und des Bösen und Schlechten nächste Woche im Buchclub zu diskutieren. Insgesamt war das Buch gut, aber ich bin auch froh, dass es nur 74 Seiten hat, um ehrlich zu sein. —- The blurb gave it all away from the get to and I wonder how readers in Stevenson‘s time enjoyed the book when they discovered the truth while reading (and potentially feared it before). I liked the nightmare setting and the idea of „hide and seek“ that Utterson and Hyde are playing. I am very excited to discuss the split personality and bad and evil topic in the bookclub next week. Overall it was good but I am also glad it only has 74 pages, I’ll be honest.
