Описание: A brilliant reinvention of Robert Louis Stevensons Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-published together with the full original classic in a special flip edition Had I approached my discovery in a more noble spirit, had I risked the experiment while under the empire of generous or pious aspirations, all must have been otherwise... Published in 1886, the tale of kindly Dr. Jekyll inventing a potion that releases his repressed persona, the evil Mr. Hyde, is one of the worlds best-known stories. But Jekylls turn for the worse was only the beginning. Shortly after the doctors untimely death, his estate is sold to cold-blooded banker Geoffrey Bodkin, who stumbles upon the fateful potion and unleashes his own alter-ego: Father Whitechapel, saintly almsgiver to the East End paupers. But what begins as a story of loving charity soon becomes one of embezzlement, scandal and murder, as Mr. Bodkin struggles to keep Father Whitechapel from being branded Londons most notorious villain-Jack the Ripper. Keller masterfully evokes Victorian London and its vernacular in this suspenseful debut novel, taking literary adaptations to a new level of sophistication and virtuosity while exploring timeless themes of class warfare, the dark side of philanthropy, and the catastrophic consequences of unhindered goodness.
