Vanha, rommia juova merimies kirjautuu sisään Englannin länsirannikolla sijaitsevaan majataloon ja pyytää muutamaa lanttia vastaan majatalon isännän poikaa Jim Hawkinsia, pitämään silmällä erästä puujalkaista miestä. Paikalle ilmestyy kuitenkin toinen, uhkaava mies - jolta puuttuu kaksi sormea - vaatien osaa vanhan merimiehen väitetystä aarrekartasta. Merimiehen vaivuttua juovuksiin Jim todella löytää kartan miehen laivakirstusta. Pian Hispaniola-alus asettuu kurssiinsa kohti suurta merirosvoseikkailua muun muassa tohtori Livesay kyydissään. Mukana aluksella on myös laivakokki Long John Silver - jalassaan puujalka ja olkapäällään puhuva papukaija, joka kantaa nimeä Kapteeni Flint. Vuoden 1883 romaanilla on ollut valtava merkitys kaikille sitä seuranneille merirosvoja ja kätkettyjä aarteita kuvaaville kertomuksille. Tarina esittelee ensimmäisen kerran kirjallisuudessa muun muassa aarrekartan, kaukaisen trooppisen saaren sekä puujalkaisen merimiehen papukaija olkapäällään.-

"Quī in suā manū quoddam baculum ponderō-sum tenēbat quod ille vibrābat; nūllīs verbīs respondit, et auscultāns continēbat suam impatientiam. Incēnsus magnā īrā, ille subitō humum imprimēbat, suum baculum dēprōmē-bat, et sē ipsum gerēbat (ut ancilla nārrāvit) sīcut quīdam īnsānus homō. Senex dominus eō discessit quī erat paulum dēprehēnsus et laesus. Dominus Hyde deinde sua frēna frēgit et eum hominem in humum verberāvit. Ille calcāvit suam victimam, tamquam quaedam īrāta sīmia, et excruciāvit eam verberibus quibus ossa erant apertē frācta et corpus saliēbat in viam." --- Horrifica novella terrōris quae potest cōnfundere et obstupifacere suōs lēctōrēs. Dēdiscās eās leviculās versiōnēs dēpictās pelliculīs, et cōnferās tuum animum ut ingrediāris in hunc psychologicum terrōrem Jekyll et Hyde. Haec novella est cōnstitūta Londīniī, sed omnēs pāginae sunt imbūtae scaenā mystēriā Edinburgī ubi Robertus Lūdovīcus Stephenson erat nātus. Estne fābula Freudiāna, mōrālis parabola, an allēgoria sexuālis? Dēcernendum est tibi. ---- "He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman. The old gentleman took a step back, with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle hurt; and at that Mr Hyde broke out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth. And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway." --- A horrifying tale of terror that will bewilder and amaze its readers. Forget the light renditions of it that you have seen in films and gather your courage to venture into the psychological terror of Jekyll and Hyde. It is in London England that the novel is supposedly set, but every page is drenched in the mysterious atmosphere of Edinburgh-where Robert Louis Stevenson was born. Is it a Freudian fable, a morality parable or a sexual allegory? Its up to you to decide.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde might represent one of the first literary 'memes, ' dropping into the western canon like a bombshell. It rooted itself deep into our cultural soil, and remains established there today, 150 years after it was first published. Ironically, however, the story is as old as Adam: outwardly good people concealing dark and horrible secrets. No need to single out the murderers however, upon introspection each of us learn that in one way or another, we all have a Jekyll and we all have a Hyde. Robert Louis Stevenson fixed our attention on this dramatic fact, and its deep truth does not allow us to ever look away. This edition is a faithful re-creation of his famous book, just as it was in its original, 1886, form.

First published in 1886, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is one of the most disturbing horror stories and an examination of man's capacity for evil by Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish novelist, and essayist, poet, and travel writer. One pitch-black London morning, a ghoulish little man tramples a young girl and continues heedlessly on his way. Captured by a passerby and returned to the scene of the crime, the man is forced to pay 100 in reimbursement. He produces ten pounds in gold and a check for the remainder. Curiously, the check bears the signature of the well-regarded Dr. Henry Jekyll. Even stranger, Dr. Jekyll will name this same awful and mystifying little man, Mr. Hyde, as the sole beneficiary. Disturbed by the coincidence, Dr. Jekyll's attorney visits his client. What he uncovers is a tale so bizarre and terrifying it has seeped into the very fabric of our consciousness.
