Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freud’s theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural doppelgänger and the split personality in a timeless tale of guilt, desire, and violence by which all subsequent ‘double’ stories must be judged. In seeking to cleanse his soul of sin, Dr Henry Jekyll instead unleashes a monster. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevenson’s international reputation as an author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume also contains Stevenson’s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, ‘Markheim’, and the occult tales of terror, ‘The Merry Men’, ‘Olalla’, and ‘Thrawn Janet’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Robert Louis Stephenson\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassic fiction (pre c 1945)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 15 Aug 2022 by Wordsworth Editions Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Louis Stephenson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57340859875706,"sku":"9781840228359","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781840228359.jpg?v=1790984637","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde-collector-s-edition-9781840228359","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
