The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

Autor Robert Louis Stevenson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2023
Extract: 1) STORY OF THE DOOR MR. UTTERSON the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove. 2) "I incline to Cain's heresy," he used to say quaintly: "I let my brother go to the devil in his own way." In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour. Robert Louis Stevenson, n le 13 novembre 1850 dimbourg et mort le 3 d cembre 1894 Vailima (Samoa), est un crivain cossais et un grand voyageur, c l bre pour son roman L' le au tr sor (1883), pour sa nouvelle L' trange Cas du docteur Jekyll et de M. Hyde (1886) et pour son r cit Voyage avec un ne dans les C vennes (1879). Stevenson est parfois consid r comme un auteur de romans d'aventure ou de r cits fantastiques pour adolescents, mais son oeuvre a une tout autre dimension: il a d'ailleurs t salu avec enthousiasme par les plus grands de ses contemporains et de ses successeurs. Ses nouvelles et romans manifestent en effet une profonde intelligence de la narration, de ses moyens et de ses effets. Il exploite tous les ressorts du r cit comme la multiplication des narrateurs et des points de vue, et pratique en m me temps une criture tr s visuelle, propice aux sc nes particuli rement frappantes. Mariage En 1879, malgr l'opposition de sa famille, il part rejoindre Fanny Osbourne en Californie. Partant de Glasgow le 7 ao t, il atteint New York le 18 et retrouve Fanny Monterey, apr s un voyage en chemin de fer. En mars 1880, il manque de mourir d'une pneumonie et ne doit son salut qu' l'attention de Fanny, qui se d voue six semaines son chevet. peine r tabli, il l' pouse le 19 mai San Francisco et ils partent en lune de miel, accompagn s du fils de Fanny, Lloyd. Cette lune de miel, qu'ils passent Calistoga en Californie dans une mine d'argent d saffect e, est relat e dans Les Squatters de Silverado et publi e en 1883. Entre 1880 et 1887, Stevenson voyagea beaucoup en cosse, en Angleterre, s journa Davos, cherchant un climat b n fique sa sant et o il b n ficie des soins du docteur Karl R edi. Il passa deux ans en 1883 et 1884 Hy res dans un chalet appel Solitude. Il crivit alors: Ce coin, notre jardin et notre vue sont subc lestes. Je chante tous les jours avec Bunian le grand barde. Je r side pr s du Paradis. Plus tard, il crivit Heureux, je le fus une fois et ce fut Hy res En 1887, apr s le d c s de son p re, il partit aux tats-Unis, o il fut accueilli par la presse new-yorkaise comme une vedette, la suite du succ s de L' trange Cas du docteur Jekyll et de M. Hyde (1886). Il passa l'hiver dans les monts Adirondacks pour soigner sa tuberculose, et d cida au printemps d'effectuer une croisi re en Oc anie o il visita les les Marquises, les les Gilbert et les Samoas.

Notă biografică

Robert Louis Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894) was a British novelist, poet, essayist, musician and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. He was a literary celebrity during his lifetime, and now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, and Jack London. Stevenson was a celebrity in his own time, but he was seen for much of the 20th century as a second-class writer. He became relegated to children's literature and horror genres, condemned by literary figures such as Virginia Woolf (daughter of his early mentor Leslie Stephen), and he was gradually excluded from the canon of literature taught in schools. His exclusion reached its nadir in the 1973 2,000-page Oxford Anthology of English Literature where he was entirely unmentioned, and The Norton Anthology of English Literature excluded him from 1968 to 2000 (1st-7th editions), including him only in the 8th edition (2006). The late 20th century brought a re-evaluation of Stevenson as an artist of great range and insight, a literary theorist, an essayist and social critic, a witness to the colonial history of the Pacific Islands, and a humanist. He was praised by Roger Lancelyn Green, one of the Oxford Inklings, as a writer of a consistently high level of "literary skill or sheer imaginative power" and a pioneer of the Age of the Story Tellers along with H. Rider Haggard. He is now evaluated as a peer of authors such as Joseph Conrad (whom Stevenson influenced with his South Seas fiction) and Henry James, with new scholarly studies and organisations devoted to him. Throughout the vicissitudes of his scholarly reception, Stevenson has remained popular worldwide. According to the Index Translationum, Stevenson is ranked the 26th most translated author in the world, ahead of Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe.
