Sobre IBD

La apacible vida del señor Utterson, respetable abogado londinense, se ve alterada por una serie de sucesos extraños y misteriosos en los que termina viéndose envuelto. A lo largo de la novela descubrirá dónde está el límite de la personalidad humana y cómo el bien y el mal cohabitan en forzoso equilibrio en cada persona.A principios de otoño de 1886 Stevenson daba vueltas a la dualidad del carácter humano y cómo incorporar la dualidad del bien y del mal en una novela. Una noche tuvo un sueño y al despertar en mente varias escenas del libro. «A altas horas de la mañana» según relató la señora Stevenson «fui despertada por gritos de horror de Louis. Pensando que tenía una pesadilla le desperté. Él me dijo furioso ¿Por qué me has despertado? Estaba soñando un dulce cuento de terror. Yo le había despertado en la escena de la primera transformación». 10
