【白日救人為業，黑夜揭開嗜血本性】
《化身博士》講述了一個驚悚而生動的故事，Jekyll and Hyde甚至成為心理學「雙重人格」的代名詞。主角傑奇醫師仁心仁術、聲名遠播，然而一次倫敦街頭的慘案裡，嫌疑人海德先生竟與傑奇醫師有所關聯。隨著時間過去，傑奇醫師的行動愈加古怪，海德則是犯下更多罪行，惡名昭彰。背後的真相超乎想像......
The Norton Library edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde features the text of the first (1886) British edition. A thorough introduction by Caroline Levine discusses the contexts and structure of Stevenson’s thrilling horror, highlighting the literary achievements of “a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction” (Vladimir Nabokov). Other selections include “Picturesque Notes on Edinburgh,” “The Body-Snatcher,” “Markheim,” and “The Bottle Imp.”
The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations―influential works of literature and philosophy―introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they’ll re-read over a lifetime.
