    I wrote my first novel at age 3, taking a ream of paper and a pen and mimicking the squiggly writing that I had observed grown-ups using. Okay, it was twenty pages of scribbles, but to me it was the Great American Novel, and my grandmother seemed to be pleased with it. Today I still enjoy writing novels, short stories, novellas, screenplays, stage plays, and lyric plays. Perhaps the mark of the writer is not what he writes, but that he writes. I always enjoyed comedy, so my first few efforts were of a comedic nature, and I will always instill some humor even into my more serious, mainstream works.

    I have been trying to crack the secret to writing classics; I try to read mostly authors whose works have remained in print for eighty years or more. Still, I have time for more contemporary works, like those of Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, and Douglas Adams, to name but a few. I think I may have struck upon the crucial sequence, plots, characters, writing style and everything to keep me published for a hundred years or more. Now I just need to sell some books.

    I have recently resettled in San Antonio, Texas, to try to remember the Alamo. No matter how deeply I concentrate, it still feels a little before my time.

A Masterpiece, by a master, read it again, read it for the first time.
This book is a classic in every sense of the word. It is a very fast read and I found the end confounding. I wonʻt discuss it so as not to ruin the readerʻs experience. The mystery in this book is not a who done it, but why done it. It is a cautionary tale; the dark side is one place we want to avoid cause it is subversively seductive. Stevenson, as everyone knows is a master. To bathe in his language is a cross between the warmth and relaxation of a mud bath and excitement of an unknown adventure. It reminds one of what great literature, even a novella, such as this, is supposed to do. Stevensonʻs imagination is clear as a tropical lagoon and as deceptive in depth. If you have never read this dive in, if you have, take another dip. Itʻs worth your while. I read it in conjunction with a production of the Musical. While the Musical is great! The source work is much better.

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" seems to be one of those works that everyone has heard of, but few people have actually read. And until recently I was one of those people -- I was mostly aware of it via pop culture, especially a few Looney Toons shorts that utilized bits of the concept. I decided it was high time I gave the original a shot... and while the language of the time period can be dry to modern readers and decades of exposure have rendered the twist ending no longer a twist, it's still a chilling read.

In Victorian London, attorney Gabriel Utterson has noticed some troubling behavior in his client and friend, the kindly and mild-mannered doctor Henry Jekyll. Not only has word spread that Jekyll is connected to a loathsome and villainous character known only as Mr. Hyde, but he's recently changed his will to leave everything he has to Hyde in the event of his death. Concerned that Hyde is manipulating his friend, Utterson seeks to intervene... especially after Hyde is witnessed as having committed a brutal murder. But when Utterson finally confronts Jekyll, he learns the shocking truth behind Jekyll and Hyde's connection...

Given that this book was written in the 1880s, the language used can feel a bit dry and stilted to modern readers. But Stevenson is still a good storyteller, and knows how to keep the suspense going throughout this story. Even readers already familiar with the twist ending should feel the chills as Utterson pursues the mystery and watches his friend's behavior become more and more erratic as the story goes. And amusingly, the original version of this book contains a joke that modern readers might have assumed was inserted into adaptations by other parties.

While short and a bit dry, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is still a suspenseful read, and well worth checking out if you're only familiar with the adaptations.

As those who came upon Mr. Hyde were quite incapable of describing him, I, too, hardly have words to describe how wonderfully Richard Armitage has brought this tale to life!

“The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde” has long been a favorite of mine. Read first when I was barely a teenager, I was both intrigued and frightened by the idea of the good and evil within us all being divided between two selves: one possessed of good qualities, and one inherently evil. The thought of two halves of the same person, each taking their turn at the helm of one being that bent to their figure and form was fantastical, but also quite terrifying. The good side, tall, erect, and seemly (the good face of the good doctor), and the evil side, squat, soul-deformed, and bent over with the weight of sin (the evil face of the dark and formless night of which it was born). And, what if then one became stronger than the other?

The thought and questions do not end there because the tale is haunting. It is thought-provoking. The “what-if” proposed pulls us in to our own natures where good and evil war within us all the time. Each of us has had a malicious thought. Our evil side draws it out of us as if from the depths of a pit, and thrusts it into the light of our consciousness. Our good sides vanquish it…eventually. Only a minuscule few would ever act upon such thoughts. Then, the “what-if”: What if one could do such deeds as the day would quake to look upon (paraphrase from Hamlet) and then retreat blameless and undetectable under the cover of a good and trusted face? And what if that side were then able to slip the confines of that which controlled it, as it wished? Which side would our natures choose should the same happen to us? I’d like to think the good side would win…but who really knows what lurks in the darkness of even the best of us?

As always, Richard Armitage delivers a powerhouse performance! His seamless transition in speech between Jeckyll and Hyde is unnerving and effectively chilling. I loved every word of it! Bravo! I really cannot wait to listen again!

Libro classico che racconta la figura del doppio, genere giallo. È un'edizione autopubblicata, ma di ottima fattura per un prezzo tanto basso (intorno ai 7€), in versione inglese integrale. Il volume è arrivato in pochissimo tempo, in contemporanea ad un altro libro ordinato nello stesso momento, ma da venditori diversi. Consigliato per la lettura in lingua straniera.
