<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This intriguing novel, both fantasy thriller and moral allegory, depicts the struggle of two opposing personalities -- one essentially good, the other evil -- for the soul of one man.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In September of 1884, Robert Louis Stevenson, then in his mid-thirties, moved with his family to Bournemouth, a resort on the southern coast of England, where in the brief span of 23 months he revised <i>A Child's Garden of Verses</i> and wrote the novels <i>Kidnapped</i> and <i>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>.<br>An intriguing combination of fantast thriller and moral allegory, <i>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i> depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities -- one essentially good, the other evil -- for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveals Stevenson as a writer of great skill and originality, whose power to terrify and move us remains, over a century later, undiminished.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Stevenson's preoccupation with 'that strong sense of man's double being' comes to the fore in the other stories included in this gripping selection. 'The Body Snatcher' and 'Markheim' both have protagonists for whom there is no clear borderline between decency and wickedness, innocence and guilt. Other kinds of dualism ruin through tales written in the Scots dialect.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Novelist, poet, and travel writer, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) wrote captivating tales for readers of all ages, including <i>Treasure Island, Kidnapped, </i>and<i> A Child's garden of Verses.</i> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/><br>
