Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde With The Merry Men And Other Stories

Robert Louis Stevenson

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton, Head of English Studies, University of Ripon and York In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature. Also included in this volume is Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables. The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim, the sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will O'the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper; and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of French bourgeois life.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson

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.

I have read this so many times and I always go back to this story. I really like that it is not too long, but has a nice plot and happy ending.

Trigger warnings?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is a possibility to add TW tab/tags for the books. It would be of great help for me and I can imagine many others. I was thinking like adding an extra section in the reviews where people can specify anything triggering. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who takes the time to add TW to their comments and reviews. 💕

Thank you xx

A Little Life

Hanya Yanagihara

When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he’ll not only be unable to overcome—but that will define his life forever.

I didn't realize it's more like a kid's book, so that's on me. Still, the story was okay, but I probably won't be reaching for the next 2 books. The story itself was simple and a bit slow for me. It had simplicity, which is not bad, but it was not what I expected. I might watch the series though.

"My surroundings are becoming as bright as I am."

I think this is such a powerful quote because you see things differently in different states of mind. Food for thought.

This man is a certified yapper, a professional daydreamer, a lone wolf and a hopeless romantic. I like that, he's literally me if I was a straight man in 1800s Russia. However I am not, and I feel like I should be glad for that. I hate the cold.

"Unless a man sees justice, he loses courage."

So true, but in times of injustice, courage is what you need.
