The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a chilling novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886. The subject matter may be partly that of a shilling shocker but the whole is executed with great panache and a fine Gothic sensibility. Lawyer Gabriel Utterson leads us apace through the rain-swept streets of Victorian London in pursuit of the diminutive but thoroughly monstrous Mr. Hyde.

En Molokai, perteneciente a las islas Hawai, el joven Keloa y el hechicero Kalamake emprenden un viaje a una misteriosa isla en busca de riquezas. Se trata de la isla de las voces, un lugar oculto y habitado por caníbales donde tendrán que enfrentarse a numerosos peligros.

London, 1880. Dr. Henry Jekyll ist ein bei allen beliebter Arzt und Forscher. Aber in letzter Zeit verhält er sich merkwürdig. Seine guten Freunde, der Anwalt Charles Utterson und der Arzt Dr. Arthur Lanyon vermuten einen Zusammenhang mit dem plötzlichen Auftauchen des zwielichtigen Mr. Hyde. Wird Dr. Jekyll erpresst oder verbirgt sich hinter allem ein noch viel schlimmeres Geheimnis?

Skillfully narrated by storyteller Darla Middlebrook, this Robert Louis Stevenson tale of Keawe, a poor Hawaiian man, who buys a strange bottle from a sad, elderly gentleman who credits the bottle with his fortune. The elderly gentleman promises that an imp residing in the bottle will also grant Keawe his every desire. Of course, there is a catch - the bottle must be sold at a loss, i.e. for less than its owner originally paid, or else it will simply return to him. The currency used in the transaction must also be in coin (not paper money or a bank check).

Keawe, un marinero de las islas Hawai, compra una singular botella que hará realidad su gran sueño: una hermosa casa en las costas de su pueblo. Sin embargo, deberá revender la botella por un precio inferior al que la compró, de lo contrario, cuando muera, el demonio que habita en su interior lo arrastrará con él hasta las llamas del infierno. Este fascinante relato es una versión del clásico cuento del genio escondido en una botella, capaz de conceder los deseos de aquél que la posea.
