Sinossi
Cervantes, Dumas, Conan Doyle: scrittori il cui nome, forse, può non essere ricordato, o suonare polveroso e persino antipatico, specie a motivo di deludenti ricordi scolastici. Nessuno però ignora Don Chisciotte e Sancio Panza, D'Artagnan e Sherlock Holmes, personaggi di carta a cui è toccata la sorte d'essere più vivi e longevi dei loro creatori. Destino analogo pure per il Dottor Jekyll e per Mister Hyde, i quali - come vuole la leggenda - si racconta siano stati sottratti ad un incubo e messi su pagina da Stevenson nel 1886, dopo un rapido quanto forsennato travaglio scrittorio. Di che tratti il racconto è universalmente noto: il "doppio", la lotta fra il Bene e il Male, una metamorfosi sconcertante, la Londra vittoriana e i suoi più perturbanti segreti, i pericoli tremendi che l'uomo affronta ogni volta che sfida l'ignoto, mirando, magari, a trascendere l'Humana condicio. Siamo dinanzi, forse, a un vecchio libro per nuovi lettori: lo "strano caso", difatti, inizia da una porta, da un uscio a cui non si presta volentieri attenzione; eppure, Jekyll e Hyde aspettano inquietanti poco oltre... E, non per caso, chi già sta leggendo si trova similmente su una soglia: giusto il tempo di cambiare pagina e si è oltre, dentro i labirinti e gli abissi di un capolavoro senza spazio né tempo. Introduzione di Matteo Ghirardelli.

”It came about that Edward Hyde was so much smaller, slighter, and younger than Henry Jekyll. Even as good shone upon the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly and plainly on the face of the other. Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that bod Leggi tutto

Pfft.This Stevenson guy totally ripped off Stan Lee's Hulk character!

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
KUDOS , KUDOS and more KUDOS to you, Mr. Stevenson!! First, for bringing me more happy than a Slip N Slide on a scorching summer day by providing Warner Bros with the inspiration for one of my favorite cartoons, Hyde and Go Tweet : ...I mean who didn't love giant, cat-eating Tweety Hyde. Second, an

Robert Louis Stevenson was a man who knew how to play his audience. Utterson, the primary point of view character for this novel, is a classic Victorian gentleman; he is honest, noble and trustworthy; he is the last reputable acquaintance of down going men like Henry Jekyll. So, by having a characte Leggi tutto

The appearances/superficiality motif appears as early on as the first sentence in this tense, tight, but ultimately convoluted smear of a novella. Count on countenance for good & sturdy bones in a story of detection... & yet... Plus there are really nice framing devices on display here, a check-mark Leggi tutto
