Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Know Anyone Like This in Your Life? Politicians? Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often called ""split personality"", referred to in psychiatry as dissociative identity disorder, where within the same body there exists more than one distinct personality. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr. Jekyll, one apparently good and the other evil. About the Author: Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer.

Book excerpt: «El tema es infinitamente interesante, y pródigo en todo género de provocaciones, y el señor Stevenson ha de congratularse por haber dado en el blanco.» Henry James «Y es que ciertamente parece que una personificación de Hyde aceptablemente realista anda suelta por Whitechapel», decía la Pall Mall Gazette el 8 de septiembre de 1888 en referencia al segundo asesinato de Jack el Destripador. La novela de Stevenson El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y el señor Hyde se había publicado dos años antes, en 1886, y se prestaba ya a esta clase de comparaciones. Había entrado de lleno en el imaginario popular y aún hoy, en el siglo XXI, no somos inmunes a su efecto. El caso «esclavizaba» ya la «imaginación» del abogado Utterson, a quien le fue dada la horrible experiencia de ser testigo de la historia; podemos decir que también esclaviza la de sus lectores. Construido como una investigación detectivesca, con una forma narrativa diáfana y perfecta, este «relato alegórico que finge ser policial», según diría Borges, es sin duda una de las piezas maestras de su autor. Esta edición presenta el texto en una nueva traducción de Catalina Martínez Muñoz, con las ilustraciones de Mervyn Peake para la edición de The Folio Society de 1948. Incluye asimismo un memorable artículo de Stevenson sobre la inspiración de la obra y un revelador apéndice de Robert Mighall que la sitúa en el contexto científico, psiquiátrico y criminológico de la época.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Italian Fever and award-winning Property, comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, a novel told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. "Part psychological novel, part social history, part eerie horror tale ... dark and moving and powerful." —The Washington Post Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivating character: Mary is a survivor—scarred but still strong—familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavory districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know. Unable to confront her hideous suspicions about Dr. Jekyll, Mary ultimately proves the lengths to which she'll go to protect him. Through her astute reflections, we hear the rest of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, and this familiar tale is made more terrifying than we remember it, more complex than we imagined possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a morality tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher," which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla," a tale of vampirism and "the beast within," with a beautiful woman at its center.

Book excerpt: El Extraño Caso del Doctor Jekyll y el Señor Hyde, escrito por Robert Louis Stevenson, es una obra clásica de la literatura de terror que explora la dualidad de la naturaleza humana. A través de una narrativa intrigante y llena de misterio, Stevenson presenta la historia del Doctor Jekyll, un respetado científico que comienza a experimentar con una poción que libera su lado oscuro en la forma del Señor Hyde. La trama se desenvuelve con un tono sombrío y perturbador, manteniendo al lector en vilo hasta el impactante desenlace. Robert Louis Stevenson, conocido por su habilidad para crear atmósferas inquietantes, se inspiró en las teorías psicológicas de su época para desarrollar esta fascinante historia. Su propia lucha contra la enfermedad y la dualidad de la existencia humana se reflejan en la complejidad de los personajes y en la profundidad de los temas tratados en la novela. Recomiendo El Extraño Caso del Doctor Jekyll y el Señor Hyde a los amantes de la literatura gótica y a aquellos interesados en explorar los aspectos más oscuros de la psique humana. Esta obra maestra literaria sigue siendo relevante en la actualidad por su análisis profundo de la dualidad moral y su impactante representación del bien y el mal en el ser humano.
Download or read book Speculative Realism and Science Fiction written by Brian Willems and published by Speculative Realism. This book was released on 2017 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the reasons that speculative materialism challenges anthropomorphism is that a human-centred approach to the environment is leading to ecological collapse. Therefore, when non-human things are taken to be as equally valid objects of investigation as humans, a more responsible and truthful view of the world takes place. Brian Willems draws on the science fiction of Cormac McCarthy, Paolo Bacigalupi, Neil Gaiman, China Miâeville, Doris Lessing and Kim Stanley Robinson alongside speculative materialists including Graham Harman, Quentin Meillassoux and Jane Bennett. By questioning it, these writers and philosophers both develop and challenge anthropomorphism. Willems looks at how nonsense and sense exist together in science fiction, the way that language is not a guarantee of personhood, the role of vision in relation to identity formation, the difference between metamorphosis and modulation, representations of non-human deaths and the function of plasticity within the Anthropocene."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: El extra�o caso del doctor Jekyll y el se�or Hyde (en ingl�s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde), a veces titulado simplemente El doctor Jekyll y el se�or Hyde, es una novela escrita por Robert Louis Stevenson y publicada por primera vez en ingl�s en 1886, que trata acerca de un abogado, Gabriel John Utterson, que investiga la extra�a relaci�n entre su viejo amigo, el Dr. Henry Jekyll, y el mis�ntropo Edward Hyde.El libro es conocido por ser una representaci�n v�vida de un trastorno psiqui�trico que hace que una misma persona tenga dos o m�s identidades o personalidades con caracter�sticas opuestas entre s�. En psiquiatr�a, esto hace referencia al trastorno disociativo de la identidad (anteriormente conocido como trastorno de personalidad m�ltiple). No se debe confundir esta psicopatolog�a con el trastorno bipolar, otro desorden psiqui�trico completamente distinto, perteneciente a un grupo de enfermedades mentales conocidas como trastornos del estado de �nimo, en el que se alternan fases de man�a con fases de depresi�n. Fue un �xito inmediato y uno de los m�s vendidos de Stevenson. Las adaptaciones teatrales comenzaron en Boston y Londres un a�o despu�s de su publicaci�n y a�n hoy contin�a inspirando pel�culas e interpretaciones m�ltiples.Jekyll es un cient�fico que crea una poci�n o bebida que tiene la capacidad de separar la parte m�s humana del lado m�s mal�fico de una persona. Cuando Jekyll bebe esta mezcla se convierte en Edward Hyde, un criminal capaz de cualquier atrocidad. Seg�n se cuenta en la novela, en nosotros siempre est�n el bien y el mal juntos, por eso Hyde, s�mbolo de todo lo perverso resulta repugnante a todo aquel que lo ve.
