Publisher: Penguin Putnam Inc. Utg. 2013. Mass Market Paperback. 144 p. This book is brand new. Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: Robert Louis Stevenson explores the very nature of man in this classic horror novel.Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale.Robert Louis Stevensons masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in mans nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconscious--during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him, alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner persona--the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde--has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekylls desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul--and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freuds naming of the ego and the id, Stevensons enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personalitys inner conflicts--and remains the irresistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares.Includes the Famous Cornell Lecture on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Vladimir NabokovWith a New Introduction by Kelly Hurleyand an Afterword by Dan Chaon. We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery., Green Point Press, New York: 2008. Softcover. Brand new book. If you've ever dreamed of jumping into skydiving, this is the book for you. As the author relates,"I remember I screamed, 'ONE THOUSAND, TWO THOUSAND, THREE THOUSAND. . .,' my heart jumping out of my chest, and then there was a sharp report, a thwack as the static line extracted the billowing white canopy. You can't get much more primal than an instant like this. Opening shock, it's called. You're relieved because you've just experienced the welcome pleasure of the violent jerk. Then a release, like waking from a dream and realizing that all those previous thoughts, the story you had written in your mind was completely a fiction. . . . This was a feeling that was better than sex, and it was potentially addictive. I was soon to enter this blissful dungeon for a very long stay, about to experience how habit-forming skydiving could become. I had to repeat the fix. I just opened my psyche and let it happen., Green Point Press, New York: 2008, New York: St. Martin's Minotaur, 2001. Bright, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Sharp corners.

From the Dust Jacket: "Brady Coyne is a middle-aged Boston attorney with a small, select clientele - one that leaves him sufficient time to pursue a personal life. That personal life currently focuses on Evie Banyon, a hospital administrator Brady has been seeing for the past year. While they are on a weekend vacation in Cape Cod, though, a determined stalker from Evie's past turns up to torment her anew. After an unpleasant confrontation with him, Brady and Evie return to their vacation cabin with a dark cloud hanging over them. The next morning, Brady wakes up to the sound of Evie, just outside the cabin, screaming for help. What he finds is the stalker's murdered body lying at Evie's feet, a body she claims to have discovered when she returned from her morning run. Now both Brady and Evie are considered prime suspects in the murder of a man with deep ties to the local community. Released by the police after intense questioning, they return to Boston, whereupon Evie disappears without a word or much of a trace. Realizing just how little he knows about Evie's life, Brady Coyne must now delve into her past if he is to uncover the truth about the dead body in his front yard and find the missing Evie in time." .

The eighteenth mystery featuring Boston lawyer Brady Coyne, divorced, fortyish, with a wry sense of humor and a passion for fishing - this one set mostly on Cape Cod. Publisher and bookseller Otto Penzler in his review described Coyne as "one of those mystery heroes in whom decency is perhaps the paramount characteristic. . . A steady intelligence is always present, and the reader increasingly appreciates the carefulness with which his creator regards the human condition: the relationships between men and women, parents and children, workers and their colleagues, the guilty and the innocent. Betrayal, above all, is something he seems to have made a special area of study." SIGNED on the title page and dated in the month of publication. 292 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket., Books<
