Sinossi
Nella notte di Londra, un uomo calpesta volutamente una bambina, non curandosi delle sue grida. Rincorso da un passante, il demoniaco signor Hyde accetta di risarcirla con del denaro: ma l'assegno che produce ha la firma del distinto Jekyll, un medico stimato da molti. È l'inizio della caduta di Jekyll in un vortice di stranezze: si isola, pare tormentato da angosce violente, e soprattutto fornisce a Hyde - che ispira orrore istintivo, e che è accusato di delitti ripugnanti - non solo denaro, ma anche protezione in casa sua. Quale oscuro patto può unire due personalità tanto diverse? Ambientata in una Londra allucinata e circospetta (nel 1886, quando il romanzo fu pubblicato, in città era attivo Jack lo Squartatore), questa fantasia nera di Stevenson ha dato corpo all'idea della doppia personalità. E nel condurre il lettore in una trama che ha il ritmo del romanzo giallo e la tensione dell'horror, porta a galla verità che non appartengono solo allo sventurato, ambizioso Jekyll, ma che parlano ai lati oscuri di ognuno di noi.

Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that bod Leggi tutto
55 pages later and I’m still convinced that Robert Louis Stevenson named his characters this way exclusively so he could fit in the line “if he shall be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek!” and honestly? that’s iconic. Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortun Leggi tutto
Pfft.This Stevenson guy totally ripped off Stan Lee's Hulk character! I mean, did this dude seriously think he could get away with what basically boils down to a copy & paste job of one of the most iconic literary characters in comics?! I. Think. Not.

So I will admit that I purchased the kindle version that had modernized wording. It just updated the older language, making it a bit easier for me to follow. But the writing style still felt like it was in same same vein (Pun intended) as Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Now this is a short read, but felt muc Leggi tutto
