Alternatif kapaklı versiyon için tıklayın.Dr. Jekyll ve Mr. Hyde ve Diğer Fantastik Öyküler, Stevenson'ın üç öyküsünü bir araya getiriyor. Yazarın gördüğü bir rüyadan esinlenerek kaleme aldığı "Dr. Jekyll ve Mr. Hyde", gotik edebiyatın köşetaşlarından biri. Biri doktor, diğeri psikopat bir katil iki farklı ruhu aynı bedende yaşatan bir adamı anlatan öykü, psikiyatrinin temel konularından biri olan çifte kişilik sorununu işliyor.
Bilime hizmet kisvesi altında, para ve iktidar hırsıyla sınır tanımayan genç cerrahları anlatan "Ceset Hırsızı" gerçek bir olaydan kaynaklanıyor. "Olalla" ise aşk, gizem ve sömürü motiflerini incelikle bir arada örüyor.
Kötülüğün ve özyıkımın insanın doğasında var olduğuna inanan Stevenson'ın öyküleri, XIX. yüzyılın baskıcı ortamında, bireyin mutluluğuna da sefaletine de kayıtsız kalan bir dönemin ürünleri olarak şekillenmiştir. Her açıdan köşeye sıkışmış insanın çaresizliğini yansıtan bu öyküler, bölünmüş benlerin içsel belirsizliklerini estetik düzleme taşır.

An interesting collection of tales delving into the agathokakological tendencies of mankind, calling into question the duality of humanity whilst concurrently alluding to the contextual controversy regarding Darwins principles of origin. These gripping gothic horror short tales are rife with disturbing mystery, whilst operating within a Victorian moral framework. Love!I wonder if this story had any influence on Carl Jungs shadow theorythat we each have a shadow self to embody our negative traits, as Henry Jekyll quite literally does with his alter-ego, Edward Hyde. Stevenson had surely studied Descartes philosophy. René Descartes (and his theory of mind/body duality) has an awful lot to answer for. Our whole Western world view tends towards dividing the world into two camps: us & them, man & nature, church & state, those for us & those against
This one of those tales that have percolated down through culture but that most of us have never actually read. I assigned it as a short reading assignment for my sixth form English class, something we could cut our teeth on while we start looking at the possibilities for texts to study this year. They were all familiar with the general idea, though I was surprised to find out that one of them was surprised that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person!Oh, yeah, oops spoilers.Anyway, this is a
I surprisingly did not already know the mystery behind Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but the penguin classic I picked up presumed that I did since everyone knows. duh! Don't you know Penguin that some people do truly live under a rock?The is a novella, so I didn't get overly attached to any aspect of the story. It didn't help that I already knew the mystery which took out any feeling of curiosity. The writing was beautiful and creepy. However, the story was far from being frightening. Victorian
God, what a horrible, insufferable slog of a book. (This review refers solely to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, not the other "tales of terror.")My editions (GR doesn't list it) is 88 pages long. 88 pages has never felt longer or nastier or...yes, the crtiicism of the uneducated and impatient and blah blah blah, so BORING. It took me six days to read. For an 88 page book!I'll admit it: I'm judging Jekyll and Hyde solely on the book I expected to get, rather than the book I got.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a book that captured the minds of millions of people when it was first published in 1886. 201 years later, this captivating novella by Robert Louis Stevenson is a book that delves into the question of dual identities and the repression of society.Dr. Jekyll has discovered the ultimate drug. A chemical that can turn him into something else. Suddenly, he can unleash his deepest cruelties in the guise of the sinister Hyde. Transforming himself at will,
This contains three separate reviews : 1 ) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 2) The Body Snatcher and 3) Olalla 1) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Jekyll/Hyde is such a part of modern pop culture, it even managed to work its way into an episode of CBBC's Arthur as a song (see Exhibit A above)- does anyone else remember this??!! So many people have heard of the 'Jekyll and Hyde personality' but so few have read the 70ish pages that actually constitute to the original
