Robert Louis Stevenson explores the very nature of man in this
classic horror novel. "Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine
bogey tale." Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece of the duality in
man's nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own
unconscious-during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him,
alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later, this tale
of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his
evil, inner persona-the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde-has lost none
of its ability to shock. Its realistic narrative chillingly relates
Jekyll's desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul-and gives
voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written
before Freud's naming of the ego and the id, Stevenson's enduring
classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the
personality's inner conflicts-and remains the irresistibly
terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares. Includes the Famous
Cornell Lecture on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Vladimir Nabokov With
an Introduction by Kelly Hurley and an Afterword by Dan Chaon
