IN SEARCH OF DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE by Raymond-T-Mcnally-Radu-Florescu

Robert Louis Stevenson's terrifying story of an urbane doctor who turns into a homicidal madman sold an unprecedented million copies before the turn of the twentieth century. One hundred years later, the expression 'Jekyll and Hyde personality' still characterises a person, often schizophrenic, at war with his darker side. Basing their work on impressive new research, McNally and Florescu shine a light into the mystery of why this image still rings true, showing that The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is more than just a ripping good yarn: it is an insight into human nature and the true character of evil.
Radu Florescu and Raymond T. McNally have taught as history professors for over forty years at Boston College. Prof. Florescu is Honorary Consul from Romania to the United States, and Prof. McNally is the honorary President of the International Dracula Society. They previously co-authored In Search of Dracula and In Search of Frankenstein, both published by Robson Books.
