Sin palabras un libro increíble, Robert Louis Stevenson es un genio, hizo arte en su obras. Historias sencillas que son adictivas me encanta su forma de redacción hace que todo encajé, sin duda imaginas y las descripciones son tan esquistas.
Dr jekyll y Mr Hyde una lectura que disfrute muchísimo es un ir y venir del misterio, preocupación, terror, del sin sentido a algo oscuro, su forma de describir la depresión y al mismo tiempo el amor propio aunque su versión de Mr Hyde sea pura maldad es increíble, Dr Jekyll no sentía aberración, odio, miedo sino todo lo contrario, al final era él mismo ¡chapeau!. Y muy sutil plasma que los humanos somo buenos y malos y que al separarse no estamos completos del todo. Es genial que pudiera hacer cosas con Mr Hyde que no podía hacer como Dr Jekyll y que aunque fueran malignas les daba una justificación asumiendo que son dos personas diferentes y que al final parece que se corrompió o le gano la forma malvada.

“Una cosa es mortificar la curiosidad y otra conquistarla”

“Todos los seres humanos, tal como los conocemos, están mezclados con el bien y el mal: y Edward Hyde, solo, en las filas de la humanidad, era pura maldad”

“Llega el fin de todas las cosas; la medida más espaciosa se llena por fin; y esta breve condescendencia al mal finalmente destruyó el equilibrio de mi alma”

“Empiezas una pregunta y es como lanzar una piedra. Te sientas tranquilamente en la cima de una colina; y la piedra se va, iniciando otras...”

‘If he be Mr Hyde,’ he had thought, ‘I shall be Mr Seek.’

This is a reread for me but I read it in school and can just remember the basic of it so when I got a the clothbound classic series from Penguin, I decided to give it another go, and I still find it a interesting story. It is about a London lawyer named John Gabriel Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.

We discover the shocking truth of it all, while this is work of fiction this has been studied to where it is now part of psychology and even have a reference to where its used today saying its a case of Jekyll and Hyde referring to where one side of the suspect is well respected and of importance but there is another side where they are a beast, with violence and cruel intentions. A famous case where this was used was Jack the Ripper.

Alongside Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, there was also a collections of other smaller stories which were used in helping to write Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde which I also enjoyed. I do enjoy a classic and find it intersting how books that were written over 100 years ago are still loved.
