A change in the colour of the light usually called me in the morning. By a certain hour, the long, vertical chinks in our western gable, where the boards had shrunk and separated, flashed suddenly into my eyes as stripes of dazzling blue, at once so dark and splendid that I used to marvel how the qualities could be combined. At an earlier hour, the heavens in that quarter were still quietly coloured, but the shoulder of the mountain which shuts in the canyon already glowed with sunlight in a wonderful compound of gold and rose and green; and this too would kindle, although more mildly and with rainbow tints, the fissures of our crazy gable.

"Aprendí a reconocer la completa y primitiva dualidad del hombre; Me di cuenta de que, de las dos naturalezas que luchaban en el campo de batalla de mi conciencia, aun cuando podía decirse con razón que yo era cualquiera de las dos, ello se debía únicamente a que era radicalmente ambas." Con el objetivo de desvelar un misterio, la novela presenta una sucesión de testimonios provenientes de diferentes testigos situados en el corazón de un Londres victoriano.

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.

Weiß man, dass Stevenson bei den Samoanischen Eingeborenen als "Tusitala" (Geschichtenerzähler) geliebt und verehrt wurde und dass "Das Flaschenteufelchen" auf eine alte Anekdote zurückgeht, wird es nicht Wunder nehmen, dass in diesem Hörspiel kein neutraler Erzähler auftritt, sondern dass ein singender Maat, den wohl das Schicksal eine Zeit lang dort hat hängen lassen, und der Meister selbst an einem Treffpunkt der Samoaner am Strand ihnen diese Geschichte aus der Südsee erzählen... Die kurze Schlussepisode ist uns von seiner Frau Fanny überliefert.

Virginibus Puerisque: With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state.

Everything else befalls him very much as he expected.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. VIRGINIBUS PUERISQUE IV: THE TRUTH OF INTERCOURSE: Among sayings that have a currency in spite of being wholly false upon the face of them for the sake of a half-truth upon another subject which is accidentally combined with the error, one of the grossest and broadest conveys the monstrous proposition that it is easy to tell the truth and hard to tell a lie.
