Böcker av Robert Louis Stevenson

Den unge forskaren Henry Jekyll är som besatt av att avslöja själens alla hemligheter. Hans intention är att finna ett sätt att isolera och utplåna mänsklig ondska, och under ett experiment lyckas han till sist framställa ett mystiskt elixir med oanade krafter. Strax därpå anländer Mr Hyde till staden. Mr Hyde skapar sig snabbt ett dåligt rykte och blir ökänd bland stadens invånare. När Dr Jekyll kommer till sin vän och advokat Mr Utterson för att testamentera allt han äger till Mr Hyde börjar Mr Utterson ana oråd. När advokaten undersöker saken närmare upptäcker han snart att de två mycket olika männen är sammanbundna på ett oerhört besynnerligt sätt.Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) var en romanförfattare, poet och reseskildrare från Skottland. Han föddes och växte upp i Edinburgh, där han också påbörjade utbildningar till ingenjör och inom juridik. Vid 25 års ålder lade han studierna åt sidan för att satsa på sitt författande. Han är mest känd för de klassiska verken "Dr Jekyll och Mr Hyde" och "Skattkammarön". Stevenson led av vacklande hälsa hela livet, hans barndom präglades av sjukdomen bronkit och avled han vid 44 års ålder av en hjärnblödning.

In a quest to discover his inner self, celebrated physician Dr Henry Jekyll, uncovers a monster. At first he attempts to conceal this but gradually Hyde becomes stronger and stronger, dominating Jekyll and ultimately destroying them both. First published to immediate acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the lightness and darkness living inside every human soul.

Jack Shepherd and Iain Cuthbertson star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the classic swashbuckling tale. Having outwitted a band of pirates to obtain a map disclosing the whereabouts of Captain Flint's treasure, Young Jim sets sail for Treasure Island. But the crew of the Hispaniola are not what they seem. Revealing themselves as another gang of cut throats, led by the villainous Long John Silver, they are hell-bent on seizing both the ship and the treasure. Will they succeed? The struggle of Young Jim and his friends as they do battle on the high seas is thrillingly played out in this full-bodied production starring Jack Shepherd, Iain Cuthbertson, Buster Merryfield and James McPherson as young Jim Hawkins.
