Description
Alongside a new Czech translation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), this volume also contains the short stories The Body Snatcher (1884) and Markheim (1885). The three texts, loosely inspired by criminal cases of their time, are linked by motifs including the divided and changeable human soul, the spell of death, and the apparent omnipotence of reason. Stevenson also confirms his mastery of concise, evocative descriptions of settings and characters, as well as sharp, ambiguous dialogue. The contents are in Czech.
