Bøker av Robert Louis Stevenson

This present edition comes from the rare 1904 edition, illustrated by Charles Raymond Macauley.The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. Charles Raymond "C. R." Macauley was an American cartoonist and illustrator. He worked as a freelance illustrator and as staff cartoonist for newspapers including the Cleveland World, New York World, New York Daily Mirror, and Brooklyn Daily Eagle. He received the 1930 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning for his 1929 cartoon "Paying for a Dead Horse". Illustrated by Charles Raymond Macauley.

After the death of his parents, 17-year-old David Balfour is confronted by his uncle Ebenezer, who is jealous of his nephew's inheritance. Ebenezer leads David to a nearby ship, where he is struck, bound, and kidnapped.

This edition was first published to mark the collection's centenary year of 1985, and is now available in a beautiful paperback edition.
