CAMINAR (HAZLITT, WILLIAM / STEVENSON, ROBERT LOUIS)
«Pasear es un entretenimiento distinguido, burgués, ocioso, elegante…; caminar es más bien algo instintivo, natural, salvaje. Pasear es un rito civil, y caminar es un acto animal. Pasear es algo social, y caminar algo más bien selvático, aunque sea por las calles de una ciudad. El que pasea se imagina paseando, o gusta de observarse según la perspectiva de los otros; el que camina es, en ese sentido, extrovertido, solo le importa el afuera. El que pasea coquetea diciendo que sale a buscarse a sí mismo, a conversar machadianamente con uno mismo, a reunirse consigo mismo, a reencontrarse o reconstruirse…; el que camina tampoco sabe nada pero por lo menos ya ha alcanzado a darse cuenta de que hay poco que escarbar dentro de sí, y rastrea vorazmente el exterior, las calles, los campos, los cielos. [...] Caminar es algo que está decisivamente relacionado con la independencia y con la libertad.» (Del prólogo de Juan Marqués.)

THE STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE AND OTHER TALES OF TERROR (STEVENSON, ROBERT LOUIS)

His innovative thriller, as shocking now as when it was first published, the Penguin Classics edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales of Terror is edited with an introduction by Robert Mighall. Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with the 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic tradition: 'Olalla', a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and 'The Body Snatcher', a gruesome fictionalisation of the exploits of the notorious Burke and Hare. This edition contains a critical introduction by Robert Mighall, which discusses class, criminality and the significance of the story's London setting. It also includes an essay on the scientific contexts of the novel and the development of the idea of the Jekyll-and-Hyde personality.
