The Black Arrow, first serialized in 1883, was eventually published as a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1888. Although it was initially written for children, and has since remained relatively undervalued by critics, The Black Arrow has garnered praise from such figures as John Galsworthy for its richly imagined setting and vibrant dialogue. Set in fifteenth-century England during the infamous War of the Roses, The Black Arrow follows the young Richard “Dick” Shelton’s journey of growth and discovery in a time of violence and terror. When the outlaws known as The Black Arrow attack his home, a strange rhyme discovered at the scene leaves Dick curious as to the true nature of his father’s death. Sent to warn Sir Daniel—who has been chosen to care for Tunstall until Dick comes of age—the hero meets the heiress Joanna. The two follow Sir Daniel back to Tunstall, where Dick discovers that his father was murdered by the man appointed to protect him. In order to get revenge, and to rescue Joanna from captivity, Dick joins the outlaws of The Black Arrow and is knighted for his service in battle to the Duke of Gloucester. A classic of adventure and romance, The Black Arrow is a novel in which a young man faces down danger in order to protect what he loves. Published amid what is arguably Stevenson’s most productive decade, The Black Arrow is often overshadowed by such works as Treasure Island and Kidnapped. What makes it worth reading, however, is its timeless tale of perseverance and growth that transports the reader to one of England’s darkest periods. It is both historical and romantic, a story for children and adults alike. To read Stevenson is to enter a world unlike any other, and yet so strangely familiar it might be our own. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Black Arrow is a classic of literature reimagined for modern readers.

这本小书的场景在高山上。 确实有很多更高的标准。 有许多高贵的轮廓。 概述的环球旅行者绝不是朝圣之地。 但是对于生活在其两侧的人来说，圣赫勒拿山很快成为人们关注的中心。 它是加利福尼亚海岸山脉一部分的勃朗峰，附近的邻居都没有一个上升到其海拔的一半。 它看不起一个绿色，错综复杂的国家。 在春季，它喂养了许多飞溅的小溪。 从它的山顶上，您必须上一堂极好的地理课：从南边看旧金山湾，一方面是Tamalpais，另一方面是。 在西面三十英里外的大洋上； 向东，穿过萨克拉曼多谷的玉米地和厚厚的郁金香沼泽，到中太平洋铁路开始在塞拉利昂山脉上攀爬； 就我所知，向北，沙斯塔 的白头低头看着俄勒冈州。

我自己的机票立刻被给了我，一个老人在这场动荡中保持了头部，把我的行李寄存了，并建议我安静地呆在原处，直到他让我动弹了。 我随身携带了一只小提琴，一个背包，背在肩上，并把班克罗夫特的《美国历史》整本装在我的铁路地毯上，共六卷。 即使是短距离的旅行，它也能带给我最大的便利，但是它为我保证了很多衣服的使用，而手提箱在那一刻（通常是之后）对于大便很有用。 我确信我在行李室里坐了一个小时，真是可悲。 然而，当最后的消息传给我时，我拿起捆绑包开始了，那只是为了换来彻底的痛苦和危险而感到不适。 我自己的机票立刻被给了我，一个老人在这场动荡中保持了头部，把我的行李寄存了，并建议我安静地呆在原处，直到他让我动弹了。 我随身携带了一只小提琴，一个背包，背在肩上，并把班克罗夫特的《美国历史》整本装在我的铁路地毯上，共六卷。 即使是短距离的旅行，它也能带给我最大的便利，但是它为我保证了很多衣服的使用，而手提箱在那一刻（通常是之后）对于大便很有用。 我确信我在行李室里坐了一个小时，真是可悲。 然而，当最后的消息传给我时，我拿起捆绑包开始了，那只是为了换来彻底的痛苦和危险而感到不适。

Dr. Jekyll believes that evil burdens every soul, so he creates a drug to rid himself of evil. But little does he know, each time he takes to drug, the evil within him starts to grow more powerful. A London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson investigates the strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 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. The book's impact is such that it has become a part of the English language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Близо десет години здравето ми беше влошено; и за известно време, преди да се отправя към пътуването си, вярвах, че съм стигнал до втората част на живота и имах само сестрата и гробаря, които трябваше да очаквам. Беше предложено да опитам Южните морета; и не исках да посетя като призрак и да ме носят като бала сред сцени, които ме бяха привлекли в младостта и здравето.
