Bøker av Robert Louis Stevenson

Retold for younger readers, this classic 1886 novel was not Robert Louis Stevenson's first novel, but it was one that helped to make him famous in his lifetime. The spine-chilling story shows the struggle between good and evil that Dr. Jekyll faced and how, in the end, his own good nature was overpowered by the evil in himself.

First published in 1885, poet and storyteller Robert Louis Steven son's classic tribute to the lives of children has delighted readers for more than a century.

Two of Stevenson's historical novels set against the Scottish landscape and featuring psychological studies of individuals. The unfinished "Weir of Hermiston", on which the author was working at the time of his death, is an account of the conflict between a powerful father and his rebellious son.

Stevenson's infamous novel as a stunning graphic novel. Following the consequences of Dr Jekyll's experiment to separate the angelic and demonic natures within him, the harrowing effects of his ensuing split personality transform him from a respected member of society into a sinister and grotesque figure terrorising the streets. As Jekyll struggles to wrest control over his alternate personality - Mr Hyde - the story builds to a climax which leaves the reader pondering the duality of human nature and its moral battle between good and evil.
