Book Overview

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author)

"...Stevenson's short novel, written in 1885, is one of the ancestors of the modern mystery story...not only a good 'bogey story, ' as Stevenson exclaimed when awakening from a dream in which he had visualized it...It is also, and more importantly, a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction, and therefore belongs to the same order of art as, for instance, Madame Bovary or Dead Souls. VLADIMIR NABOKOV

"Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is a double triumph. It has the outside excitement that belongs to Conan Doyle with the inside excitement that belongs to Henry James." G.K. CHESTERTON

"Jekyll & Hyde I have read [and found] admirable...worthy of Shakespeare." GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS

About Robert Louis Stevenson

Throughout his life, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was plagued by ill health, which interrupted his formal education at Edinburgh University. Pursuing the life of a bohemian during his twenties and thirties, he traveled around Europe and formed the basis of his first two books, An Inland Journey (1878) and Travels with a Donkey (1879). Stevenson gained his first popular success with Treasure Island (1883). The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which sold forty thousand copies in six months, and Kidnapped appeared in 1886, followed by The Black Arrow (1888) and The Master of Ballantrae (1889). In 1888, he set out with his family for the South Seas, traveling to the leper colony at Molokai, and finally settling in Samoa, where he died.
