US: Penguin Classics, 2003. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have become synonymous with the idea of a split per sonality. More than a morality tale, this dark psychological fantasy is als o a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evoluti on, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatch er," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "O lalla," a tale of vampirism and "the beast within," with a beautiful woman at its center. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers… Leer más

Like Ric e, the heroine Triana lives in New Orleans, mourns a dead young daughter an d a drunken mother, and is subject to uncanny visions. A violin-virtuoso gh ost named Stefan time-trips and globetrots with Triana, taunting her for he r inability to play his Stradivarius--which echoes composer Salieri's jealo usy in Amadeus and possibly Rice's jealousy of her successful poet husband Stan Rice in the years before her own florid, lurid writing made her famous . The storytelling here is too abstract, but the almost certainly autobiogr aphical emotions could not be more visceral. At one point, the narrator exc laims, "Shame, blame, maim, pain, vain!"
