Стильно оформленное подарочное издание в суперобложке, с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и шелковым ляссе. Utterson, the lawyer, is becoming increasingly anxious about the strange behaviour of his friend, Dr Henry Jekyll; and in particular, by Jekyll's association with an ugly violent creature by the name of Edward Hyde. Utterson resolves to get to the bottom of the mystery, and, along the way, uncovers an horrific story of murder and suffering, which leads inevitably to the terrible revelation of Mr Hyde's true identity. "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is a masterpiece of Victorian literature, and one of the most potent and enduring of modern myths. The adventures of Prince Florizel of Bohemia and his running battle with the sinister machinations of the Suicide Club are also included in this volume as well as "The Body Snatchers", "Markheim" and "Olalla": three of Stevenson's memorable and well-observed short stories, which deal with similarly...

"Kidnapped" is a classic adventure story, as thrilling today as when it was first published. As he sets off into the world to seek his last remaining kinsman, Uncle Ebenezer, young David Balfour has no idea of the hazards and intrigues that the encounter will bring.

But before he can fathom his machinations, David is tricked into boarding the brig Covenant, and bound for slavery in distant Carolina... Overcoming the perils of sea and the turbulent fortunes that befall him after he is shipwrecked - including a charge of murder - David ultimately emerges triumphant to claim his rightful heritage.

Renowned as the author of such popular adventure stories as `Kidnapped` and `Treasure Island`, Robert Louis Stevenson also wrote gripping tales of terror and the supernatural. Stevenson`s considerable gifts as a teller of tales shine brightly in this choice collection of three of his best short stories. The Gothic tale of `The Body Snatcher` concerns a young medical student`s dealings with grave robbers who provide corpses to dissect and study - a practice that takes on increasingly sinister dimensions. Swirling seas, dangerous reefs, and inhospitable islanders provide the grim backdrop for a tale of greed, lunacy, and unbridled fear in `The Merry Men`, the name given by the inhabitants of Aros to the fearsome breakers that pound their tiny Scottish isle. `The Bottle Imp` - an intricately told tale of love and adventure, avarice and envy, and good and evil - centers on a magical bottle that provides its owner with all he desires, but at a great cost. This...

When young Jim Hawkins finds a packet in Captain Flint's sea chest, he could not know that the map inside would lead him to unimaginable treasure. Shipping as cabin boy on the Hispaniola, he sails with Squire Trelawney, Captain Smollett, Dr Livesey, the sinister Long John Silver and a frightening crew to Treasure Island. There, mutiny, murder and mayhem lead to a thrilling climax. Формат: 12,5 см x 19,5 см.

The story grew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew. The tale is told by an adventurous boy, Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of the buried treasure. Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself. Stevenson's first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages. Формат: 11 см x 18 см.
