Dr. Jekyll’s Dilemma: A 1906 Medallion Edition of Stevenson’s Gothic Masterpiece Robert LOUIS Stevenson 1906 Hardcover
Ah, the eternal tug-of-war within the soul—now available in a very tangible, 1906 hardcover form.
This Medallion Edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, published by Current Literature Publishing Co., is not just a book; it’s a mirror held up to the curious contradictions that live inside us all. Handsomely clad in its original boards with only a whisper of wear at the spine’s crown and heel, this volume has aged with the kind of grace you’d expect from someone who knows how to keep their darker urges in check—most of the time.
The binding does show a philosophical crack at page three, as though the book itself is pausing to reflect, “What are we, really?” But fear not—it’s still sound, like a gentleman holding it together at a rather intense dinner party. Page 311 has decided to be independent but is included, like Mr. Hyde always lurking just out of sight.
Inside, Stevenson’s tale doesn’t just entertain; it dissects. With The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables riding along in this literary omnibus, you’ll also find the author musing on shipwrecks, madness, and morality with his characteristic wit and eerie precision.
Whether you're collecting curiosities, courting your inner philosopher, or simply looking to understand why your best ideas often arrive at 2 a.m., this book invites you to step into the foggy streets of Victorian London—and into the maze of your own mind.
