Автор:R. L. Stevenson Год: 1999 Издание:Wordsworth Editions Limited Страниц: 256 ISBN: 9781853260612 In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature.
