Stevenson's short novel, published in 1886, became an instant classic. It was a Gothic horror that originated in a feverish nightmare, whose hallucinatory setting in the murky back streets of London gripped a nation mesmerized by crime and violence. The respectable doctor's mysterious relationship with his disreputable associate is finally revealed in one of the most original and thrilling endings in English literature. In addition to Jekyll and Hyde, this edition also includes a number of short stories and essays written by Stevenson in the 1880s, minor masterpieces of fiction and comment: 'The Body Snatcher', 'Markheim', and 'Olalla' feature grave-robbing, a sinister double, and degeneracy, while 'A Chapter on Dreams' and 'A Gossip on Romance' discuss artistic creation and the 'romance' form. Appendixes provide extracts from contemporary writings on personality disorder, which set Stevenson's tale in its full historical context. - ;The best edition of Stevenson's supernatural fiction so far. The texts are very well edited, the notes are significant and unobtrusive for the average reader, and the appendices provide the perfect complementation for Stevenson's narratives of the uncanny. Roger Luckhurst's introduction is fascinating. A must. - Dr. Antonio Ballesteros-Gonz--aacute--;lez, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha

جزیره‌ی گنج که به نیت ارتباط با نوجوانان و جوانان نوشته شده بود، برای نخستین بار در نشریه‌ای خاص این گروه سنی به صورت پاورقی منتشر شد. اما چاپ این رمان به شکل پاورقی، با توفیق چندانی همراه نبود؛ تا این‌که به صورت کتاب نیز وارد بازار شد.

رمانی که انتشارش در آغاز نتوانسته بود انتظارات نویسنده‌اش را برآورده کند؛ به تدریج جایگاه خود را در میان نوجوانان و نهایتاً دیگر گروه‌های سنی پیدا کرد. موفقیت رمان به قدری بود که برخی آن را به عنوان اثری کلاسیک هم‌پای «ادیسه» شاهکار هومر ارزیابی کردند. افزون بر این، بعدها جزیره‌ی گنج به عنوان رمانی مادر و تأثیرگذار در زمینه‌ی آثار داستانی حادثه‌پردازانه‌ی دریایی بر نویسندگانی چون جوزف کنراد و یا جک لندن تأثیر بسیار گذاشت.

ماجراهای این رمان در قرن هجدهم می‌گذرد؛ ناخدایی پیر و بدعنق، با زخمی کریه بر صورت، وارد میهمان‌خانه‌ای در یکی از بندرهای کوچک انگلستان می‌شود. او که روزها را خیره شدن به دریا و شب‌ها را به بدمستی می‌گذراند، همواره در هراسِ از راه رسیدن ملوانی یک پاست. ناخدا صندوقچه‌ای دارد که به هیچ کس اجازه‌ی نزدیک شدن به آن را نمی‌دهد. پس از مرگ او که تقریباً هم‌زمان با از راه رسیدن ملوان یک پاست، نقشه‌ی گنجی از داخل صندوقچه به جیم (پسر نوجوان صاحب میهمان‌خانه) می‌رسد و این نقطه‌ی عزیمت داستانی پرحادثه و جذاب برای یافتن گنجی است که در یک جزیره مدفون شده، گنجی که ملوان یک پا و دزدان دریایی نیز در پی آن هستند و...

Non potrebbero essere più diversi il pacifico dottor Jekyll, stimato medico londinese, e il malvagio Mr. Hyde, creatura mossa dagli istinti.
Eppure sono la stessa persona: quando il dottore prova su se stesso una pozione di sua creazione, scatena la parte oscura che si cela nel suo animo. L’opera più celebre di Robert Louis Stevenson dopo L’isola del tesoro è un pilastro dell’iconografia popolare, uno dei capolavori della letteratura mondiale, un’esplicita metafora dell’eterna lotta tra il bene e il male. L’onesto Jekyll è fragile, incerto, drammaticamente lacerato tra impulsi contrastanti: istinti che solo il crudele e vizioso Hyde può soddisfare, senza freni o esitazioni.

"For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, 'the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.' G. S. Fraser terms it 'an utterly original book' and goes on to write: 'There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy.'

'there were only seven out of the twenty-six on whom we knew we could rely; and out of those seven one was a boy ...' When a mysterious seafarer puts up at the Admiral Benbow, young Jim Hawkins is haunted by his frightening tales; the sailor's sudden death is the beginning of one of the most exciting adventure stories in literature. The discovery of a treasure map sets Jim and his companions in search of buried gold, and they are soon on board the Hispaniola with a crew of buccaneers recruited by the one-legged sea cook known as Long John Silver. As they near their destination, and the lure of Captain Flint's treasure grows ever stronger, Jim's courage and wits are tested to the full. Stevenson reinvented the genre with Treasure Island, a boys' story that appeals as much to adults as to children, and whose moral ambiguities turned the Victorian universe on its head. This edition celebrates the ultimate book of pirates and high adventure, and also examines how its tale of greed, murder, treachery, and evil has acquired its classic status.

Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

Tricked by the uncle who has stolen his inheritance, young David Balfour is kidnapped and bound for America. Or at least that was the plan, until the ship runs into trouble and David is rescued by Alan Breck Stewart, fugitive Jacobite and, by his own admission, a ‘bonny fighter’. Balfour, a canny lowlander, finds an echo of some wilder and more romantic self in the wilful and courageous Highland spirit of Alan Breck. A strange and difficult friendship is born, as their adventures begin.
has become a classic of historical romance the world over and is justly famous as a novel of travel and adventure in the Scottish landscape. Stevenson’s vivid descriptive powers were never better than in his account of remote places and dangerous action in the Highlands in the years after Culloden.
‘A cracking tale of low skulduggery and high adventure, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped has enthralled generations of readers since its first publication in 1886. A book for thrill-seekers of all ages, this romp through Jacobite Scotland is a true classic.’ Sunday Herald
‘A delicately balanced book, expertly controlled, sharply focused, and written with an affectionate irony. It is perhaps the finest of Stevenson’s novels.’ Jenni Calder

Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in man's 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 Jekyll's desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul—and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freud's naming of the ego and the id, Stevenson's enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personality's inner conflicts—and remains the irresistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares.
