Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freud's theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural \u003cem\u003edoppelganger\u003c\/em\u003e and the split personality in a timeless tale of guilt, desire, and violence by which all subsequent 'double' stories must be judged. In seeking to cleanse his soul of sin, Dr Henry Jekyll instead unleashes a monster. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevenson's international reputation as an author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume also contains Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories, \u003cem\u003eThe Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables,\u003c\/em\u003e which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, 'Markheim', and the occult tales of terror, 'The Merry Men', 'Olalla', and 'Thrawn Janet'.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevenson, Robert Louis","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47259630666067,"sku":"XV81840228359","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":44503988207906,"sku":"9781840228359","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/stevenson-robert-louis-robert-louis-stevenson-dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde-2022-hardback-52759177888083.jpg?v=1698835997","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
