书籍简介

本书初次出版于1886年，主人公是受人尊敬的杰基尔博士。杰基尔为了使自己长期掩藏的恶的自我得以释放，便发明了一种药水，可以随时变身为海德先生，以通过另一种身份纵情享乐。故事首先从伦敦的律师厄塔森的视角展开，讲述他所见的杰基尔博士和海德先生，并设下伏笔，步步揭开谜底。故事的后半部分，则是杰基尔博士的自白，讲述了自己逐渐堕落的经过。“化身博士”这一人物形象是文学史上的经典，而“Jekyll and Hyde”一词则成为心理学“双重人格”的代称。

'...man is not truly one, but truly two.'

In this powerful deconstruction of Calvinist belief and the hypocrisy at the heart of Victorian society, Stevenson creates a gothic icon in the divided self that is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freud's theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural doppelganger 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.

This volume also contains Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, 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'.
