Reseña: Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale. Robert Louis Stevensons masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in mans nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconscious - during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil inner persona - the loathsome twisted Mr. Hyde - has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekylls desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul - and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freuds naming of the ego and the id Stevensons enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personalitys inner conflicts - and remains the irresistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares. Includes the Famous Cornell Lecture on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Vladimir Nabokov With a New Introductionand with an Afterword by Dan Chaon
