Maria Lucia de Vanna — новинки

Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale takes to intriguing extremes the near-universal belief that each person has a good and bad 'sides'. First published in 1886, the story is justly famous - it has inspired countless stage and film adaptations, and 'Jekyll and Hyde' has entered the English language and an epithet for someone whose personality oscillates between extremes.
Stevenson's tale was inspired by the true story of Edinburgh cabinet maker, Deacon Brodie, a respected businessman by day and thief by night. Brodie was caught and hung in 1788, on a gallows he himself had paid for the previous year.

What he hears will change everything. Egged on by his wife, he decides to kill in order to gain the Scottish crown. How many people will have to die in Macbeth's pursuit of power? With armies, ghosts and magic against him, will Macbeth survive in this tale of greed and betrayal? Getting the crown is one thing - keeping it is quite another.
