Title: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with The Merry Men & Other Stories
Author: R.L. Stevenson
Released: 1999
Publishers: Wordsworth Classics
Number of pages: 232 with notes
With an Introduction and Notes by Tim Middleton, University College of Ripon and York
In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to immediate acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man´s nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson´s reputation as a writer.
Also included in this volume is Stevenson´s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables.
The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim, a sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla, a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will O´ the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of French bourgeois life.
My opinion of the book is that it was with the short stories, but I do not like when the stories was in Scottish, because I do not understand their language. In the end of the book there is a glossary, and I could have that in the end of every page instead of in the end of the book. Otherwise a very good book.
In my review I will give the book 3 out of 5 stars.
See you later/ Puss
