    • "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," published in 1886, became a bestseller with 40,000 copies sold in six months. The story is inspired by the true tale of Deacon Brodie, an Edinburgh carpenter who led a secret double life and ultimately faced execution. Stevenson had previously written a play about this case as a teenager, titled "Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life." The impetus for the novella came from a vivid dream in late September or early October 1885, after which Stevenson quickly drafted a version. While recovering in Bournemouth, he experienced a health crisis just before the dream and wrote feverishly. His wife criticized the initial draft, prompting Stevenson to burn it and produce an allegorical second version within a week. The narrative combines various stylistic levels, with a distinct tone in the narrator's voice compared to the inserted documents, showcasing Stevenson's stylistic virtuosity, which needed to be faithfully preserved in translation.

      "Famosa, escrita en un desafío por el famoso amigo del autor, el poeta Lord Byron, esta novela de terror gótica es una de las historias más inquietantes de todos los tiempos. Recuenta los trágicos eventos en la vida del joven doctor Frankenstein y las terribles consecuencias de su intento de crear vida artificial. Más de 100 años después de su publicación, sigue siendo una brillante y esencial reflexión sobre la ética cientí́fica, así como una obra maestra literaria." --
