"Have you ever wished to be someone else? Have you
ever looked at someone you know and thought, 'He does what he wants'. Why
shouldn't i do what i want? And have you ever thought that if you looked like someone
else, only for one day, you would be free to do Anything you wanted? And nobody
could blame you..."
Sounds interesting, don't you think
so? This is the wonderful introduction of the book that I've read in my
Christmas holydays, it's named "Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde" and it's a
very famous story by a very famous writer who is Robert Louis Stevenson. I'm
going to talk you a little bit about the story and then I'd like to talk about
the author too.
Well it's about a scientist, the Dr
Jeckyl, who wants to know if it's possible to change into another person or
into another body . He finally finds the way to create "Mr Hyde", the
way to stay into Mr Hyde's body, and look completely different but still being
himself. But then it begins a problem, and it's that Mr Hyde becomes evil. The
personality of Dr Jeckyl begins to be divided in two parts, the first, all
goodness and love, appears with Jeckyl, and the second, all malice and hatred,
with Mr Hyde. At the end he can't control his own changes of body and the bad
part wins the good one, Dr jeckyl disappears forever for being only mr Hyde,
only evil, only a monster.
Well about the author, he's Robert LouisStevenson, and he was a Scottish novelist. He born in 1850 in Scotland
and he died in 1894 with only 44 years old. His most famous books were, the
treasure island (i think this is the most famous), dr jeckyl and mr hyde and
kidnapped, but i didn't know anything about the third one.
Well finally, about my personal opinion I've loved
this book I think it's a very interesting story and in fact I want to read the
real version because I've read an adaptation. I recommend it to
everybody, it's very easy to read. One of the things that I liked more about
the book, it's strange but it was the introduction, i think it's pretty
beautiful, and a good consideration.
