Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde\The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables
In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll
discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886,
this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of
man's nature.
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.
Robert Louis Stevenson, geboren 1850 in Edinburgh, schrieb unter anderem Reiseerzählungen, Abenteuerromane und Lyrik. Stevenson starb im Alter von 44 Jahren auf der Südseeinsel Samoa.
