Das Böse und Unheimliche ist nicht irgendwo da draußen, sondern Teil von uns selbst: Kein Text hat die Beunruhigung, die von dieser Erkenntnis ausgeht, eindrucksvoller geschildert als Robert Louis Stevensons Erzählung ›Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde‹. Wie spannend so ein Klassiker der Weltliteratur sein kann – bei Stevensons berühmter Doppelgänger-Geschichte, ohne die Romane wie ›American Psycho‹ oder Filme wie ›Fight Club‹ nicht denkbar wären, kann man es erleben. Mit dem Werkbeitrag aus Kindlers Literatur Lexikon. Mit Daten zu Leben und Werk, exklusiv verfasst von der Redaktion der Zeitschrift für Literatur TEXT + KRITIK.

From the Publisher This classic story of a shipwrecked mariner on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His is the saga of a man a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand... Consistently popular since its first publication in 1719, Daniel Defoe's story of human endurance in an exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English novel, Robinson Crusoe has taken its rightful place among the great myths of Western civilization.
