O Médico e o Monstro

De Robert Louis Stevenson

As suspeitas começaram quando Mr. Utterson, um circunspecto advogado londrino, leu o testamento de seu velho amigo Henry Jekyll. Qual era a relaçăo entre o respeitável Dr. Jekyll e o diabólico Edward Hyde? Quem matou Sir Danvers, o ilustre membro do parlamento londrino?
Assim começa uma das mais célebres histórias de horror da literatura mundial. A história assustadora do infernal alter ego do Dr. Jekyll e da busca através das ruas escuras de Londres que culmina numa terrível revelaçăo.
O escocęs Robert Louis Stevenson é considerado um dos maiores escritores da literatura mundial. Inexcedível no gęnero de romances de aventuras, é autor de A ilha do tesouro, um dos livros mais célebres de todos os tempos (1883). O médico e o monstro é um clássico entre os clássicos de horror e mistério. Stevenson escreveu ainda O raptado, As aventuras de David Balfour, O morgado de Ballantrae, entre outros.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and travel writer. Born the son of a lighthouse engineer, Stevenson suffered from a lifelong lung ailment that forced him to travel constantly in search of warmer climates. Rather than follow his father’s footsteps, Stevenson pursued a love of literature and adventure that would inspire such works as Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879).

Introdução

---

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) – Como romancista é conhecido pelo poder inventivo e pela profundidade dos insights psicológicos encontrados em sua obra; uma habilidade, segundo G. K. Chesterton, de pinçar a palavra exata com a ponta de sua caneta.

Nascido em Edimburgo em 1850, Robert Louis (originalmente Lewis) Balfour Stevenson era filho de um próspero engenheiro civil. Seu pai tinha planos de que ele seguisse sua profissão, mas a saúde debilitada e a fraca inclinação para a área fizeram com que decidisse por uma carreira alternativa. Como solução conciliatória escolheu Direito, e assim entrou para a Universidade de Edimburgo para tornar-se advogado. Porém, sua crescente desilusão com a respeitabilidade presbiteriana da classe social de seus pais levou-o a frequentes conflitos e consequente distanciamento, preferindo, então, levar uma vida boêmia. Sua fascinação pela vida mundana e as personagens bizarras que conheceu proveram rico material para suas histórias. Quando Stevenson foi chamado para o tribunal em 1875, já estava determinado a tornar-se um escritor profissional. Aos vinte e poucos anos começou a sofrer sérios problemas respiratórios, agravados pelo clima escocês. Na tentativa de aliviar os sintomas da doença, passou parte de sua vida viajando para países mais quentes, e foi enquanto morava na França, em 1876, que conheceu sua futura esposa, Fanny Osbourne, uma mulher dez anos mais velha que ele. Seguiu-a até a Califórnia em um navio de emigrantes, em 1879, casando-se mais tarde, depois que o divórcio dela foi concluído. As primeiras obras de Stevenson publicadas: Uma viagem pelo interior (1878) e Viagens com um burro nas Cervennes (1879), baseadas em suas próprias aventuras, foram seguidas por um fluxo constante de artigos e ensaios. Entretanto, não foi antes de 1883 que sua primeira obra de ficção surgiu – A ilha do tesouro. Uma fase de grave doença seguida por um período de descanso em Bournemouth colocou Stevenson em contato com Henry James e os dois tornaram-se grandes amigos. O reconhecimento que Stevenson recebera por A ilha do tesouro cresceu ainda mais com a publicação de O médico e o monstro e Raptado, em 1886. Em 1888, levou sua família para os mares do sul, mais uma vez em busca de um clima mais condizente com sua condição de saúde. Estabelecendo-se em Samoa, ganhou a reputação de contador de histórias, especialmente entre os nativos. Stevenson morreu de hemorragia cerebral enquanto escrevia sua obra-prima inacabada, Weir of Hermiston, em 1894. A educação calvinista de Stevenson e a constante luta contra a saúde debilitada levou-o a preocupar-se com a morte e o lado mais negro da natureza humana, por isso encontrados em sua obra. Apesar de sua afirmação de que a ficção está para o adulto como a brincadeira está para a criança, ao final de sua vida tinha se tornado um mestre em um enorme espectro da ficção, de aventuras históricas e romances de fanfarras a histórias góticas de horror.

O médico e o monstro originou-se de um sonho que Stevenson teve. Ao acordar, lembrou-se de uma boa história de terror e imediatamente começou a escrever. O foco na dupla personalidade e a insinuação de que o mal é potencialmente mais poderoso que o bem vêm assegurando sua popularidade há mais de cem anos.

Para Katharine de Mattos

Não é certo afrouxar laços que Deus decretou fossem fortes;

Sempre seremos os filhos das urzes e do vento;

Longe de casa, ainda assim, é por você e é por mim

Que o vento balança a giesta naquelas terras mais ao norte.

A história da porta

---

O advogado, Mr. Utterson, era um homem de aparência rude, que nunca se iluminava com um sorriso; frio, restrito e embaraçado no falar; retraído nos sentimentos; magro, comprido, aborrecido, melancólico e, apesar de tudo, amável. Em reuniões com amigos, e quando o vinho era de seu gosto, algo de eminentemente humano brotava de seus olhos; algo que nunca se mostrava em sua conversa, mas que se comunicava não só pelos silenciosos símbolos de sua face após o jantar, como, com maior frequência e de forma mais perceptível, por seus atos. Era austero consigo mesmo; bebia gim quando estava só, para controlar seu gosto pelo vinho e, embora apreciasse o teatro, não tinha entrado num nos últimos vinte anos. Mas tinha uma comprovada tolerância pelos outros; às vezes se maravilhava, quase com inveja, pela enorme pressão espiritual envolvida em seus maus atos e, em casos extremos, estava sempre mais inclinado a ajudar do que a reprovar. Eu me inclino pela heresia de Caim, costumava dizer textualmente, deixo que meu irmão encontre o Diabo por seus próprios meios. Dessa forma, era frequente que fosse o último amigo de boa reputação, e a última boa influência na vida de homens que decaíam. E sempre que tais homens vinham visitá-lo em seus aposentos, jamais deixou que sequer uma sombra de mudança afetasse seu comportamento.

Sem dúvida que agir dessa forma era fácil para Mr. Utterson, pois ele pouco demonstrava seus sentimentos, e mesmo suas amizades pareciam ser baseadas numa similar tolerância de amável benevolência. Receber seu círculo de amigos, já pronto, das mãos do destino é a marca de um homem modesto; e esse era o caso do advogado. Seus amigos eram aqueles de seu próprio sangue, ou aqueles a quem conhecia há mais tempo; sua afeições, como as heras, eram um desenvolvimento do tempo, não continham nenhuma ação objetiva. Em consequência, assim também eram os laços que o uniam a Mr. Richard Enfield, um parente distante, muito conhecido na cidade. Era motivo de especulação para muitos o que esses dois viam um no outro, ou que assunto podiam ter em comum. Diziam aqueles que os encontravam em seus passeios domingueiros, que eles não diziam nada, pareciam estranhamente enfadados e saudavam com óbvio alívio o encontro de um amigo. Apesar de tudo, ambos davam grande valor a essas excursões, consideravam-nas o ponto alto de cada semana e, além de não trocá-las por outras possibilidades de atividades prazerosas, chegavam a ignorar chamados de negócios para que pudessem apreciá-las sem interrupções.

Numa dessas perambulações, o acaso fez com que seu caminho os levasse a percorrer uma rua secundária, num bairro movimentado de Londres. A rua era pequena e poderia ser considerada tranquila, embora tivesse um próspero comércio nos dias úteis. Pela aparência, seus habitantes estavam indo muito bem, e com ambições de ir ainda melhor, gastando as sobras de seus rendimentos em sofisticação, de tal sorte que as vitrines das lojas daquela via tinham um ar convidativo, como fileiras de vendedoras. Mesmo aos domingos, quando escondia seus maiores atrativos e se transformava numa passagem relativamente vazia, o brilho da rua contrastava com sua sombria vizinhança, como um fogo na floresta; e, com pintura nova em suas janelas, suas peças de bronze bem polidas, sua limpeza geral e tom de alegria, era agradável ao olhar e instantaneamente chamava a atenção dos passantes.

A duas portas de uma esquina, à esquerda de quem segue no sentido leste, o alinhamento era quebrado pela entrada de um pátio, local em que o bloco sinistro de um certo prédio avançava seu espigão sobre a rua. O prédio tinha dois andares, nenhuma janela aparente, nada além de uma porta no andar de baixo e uma parede cega e descolorida no superior. Ou seja, tinha todas as características que marcam uma suja e prolongada negligência. A porta, que não tinha sineta ou aldrava, estava cheia de bolhas e descolorida. Mendigos entravam naquele recesso e raspavam seus fósforos nos painéis, crianças brincavam nos degraus, um garoto de escola tinha testado seu canivete na moldura da porta e, por quase toda uma geração, ninguém tinha aparecido para afastar esses visitantes esporádicos, ou para consertar os estragos causados por eles.

Mr. Enfield e o advogado estavam do outro lado da rua, mas quando se colocaram na linha da entrada,

Avaliações de O Médico e o Monstro

[sometimeunderwater · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Bet this was a blitz before everyone and their kid knew the secret twist. A fine gothic novella, proceeding on railroad towards the ending you already knew was coming.

[readingover50 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

I am watching the new season of Penny Dreadful and they are featuring Dr. Jekyll this year. I realized I have never read this book, so I decided to pick it up in preparation for the show.

The writing feels very dense, and the pacing is slow. The reader slowly gets a feeling of dread, rather than outright scares. This is common with many of the horror stories of the period that I have read.

The story is interesting, with much musing on the nature of good and evil. It was a bit slower paced than I like, but this is a short book and easy to read in a day.

[williemeikle-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

It's not called a classic without good reason. It's an almost perfectly plotted short novel, all the parts complementing each other, all serving to build tension and anticipation. The good doctor is suitably tragic, Hyde is suitably degenerate and, despite having seen the multitude of adaptations over the years, it still feels remarkably fresh and modern. All of Stevenson's stylistic flourishes are on show, as well as his rarely bettered storytelling ability. I'd give it six stars if I could.

[deltaqueen50 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novella that was first published in 1886. This story has captured the attention of many generations and has a lasting quality that has kept it and, it’s many versions, in the forefront of the literary world.The author tells his chilling story with the use of both descriptive and powerful language. Two of it’s main themes are the classic “good versus evil” story line as we read of Dr. Jekyll’s struggles to keep his “bad side”, Mr. Hyde, under control. The other theme that comes immediately to mind is the familiar one of science going too far. Although this seems a rather mild story by today’s standards, it’s simplicity reveals a timeless classic of murder and monsters on the streets of Victorian London.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is very much a Victorian product showing man’s quest for keeping his animal nature suppressed and only showing the world the world a stiff, tightly controlled facade. Part of the significance of this story is that it can be interpreted in different ways. Is the author showing a split personality, the effect of mental illness, or is this a commentary on the rules of Victorian society? However one looks at it, this is a brilliant story about mind and body separation.

[shaunesay · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

This is the first time I've ever read the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I'll admit I had no idea it was written by the same author as Treasure Island, which I also have not read yet. I would not have put those two ideas to the same author, so it's been enlightening all around! It's also amazing to me what a short story this really was, only 94 pages, to have inspired so many adaptations and interpretations, movies, etc.

It was an interesting dark fantasy tale with an important lesson about giving in to our baser natures. The more we indulge them, the more it becomes who we are until we're no longer able to hide or control those tendencies.

[bookomaniac-1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Een Victoriaanse klassieker, terecht. Beklemmend geschreven, met een mooie opbouw.

[bnielsen_30 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

Glimrende koncept. Henry Jekyll eksperimenterer med et medikament som skal hjælpe ham til at skille sin gode fra sin onde side. Det lykkes kun alt for godt. Han bliver til en ond person, Mr. Hyde, og finder for sent ud af at de kemikalier han bruger i starten indeholder et eller andet stof, som ikke findes i senere leverancer. Til sidst kan han ikke længere blive til Dr. Jekyll.En klassiker

Classic gothic horror story.

[cyderry · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Each year I try to read a few CLASSICS just so that I can mark them off my list. I usually don't care for the stories or writing and have a hard time making it through the book, however, this one surprised me. The story was different than what I had imagined.Dr. Jekyll is the good guy and he has worked on a formula which will separate his baser nature from his kind and good attributes. Unfortunately, he loses control of Mr. Hyde (the bad guy) and must surrender his life to protect others.

[boes0106 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

I thought this was an interesting short read. Its not the story i was expecting to read. Mr. Hyde was not a hulk type monster, but really a split personality containing the pure and sinful nature inside of each and every one of us. Two and a half stars.

[la2bkk · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

As with many classics, this book is far more subtle and nuanced than the modern reader might expect based upon subsequent movie adaptations. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book as it is a wonderful combination of horror, suspense, humor and commentary on each of us.

[kinsey_m · Nota: 2 de 5 estrelas]

I do like to read classic gothic terror and I was sadly disapointed on this one, for two reasons:1.- The fact that Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde are the same person is meant to be a surprise and the main attraction of the book. This surprise (through no fault of the author) has been absolutely lost. Still, you could get over that if it wasn't for fault number 2.2.- It just hasn't aged well. Evil = Ugliness, does anyone believe that anymore? You could argue the same thing for the portrait of Dorian Gray, but there, it is clear that it is the ugliness of the soul, not physical ugliness, that is being pointed out. It just seems like a childish concept.

[jeffjardine · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

The phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has become an ingrained part of our language. I guess spoiler alerts weren't all that common in the 19th century. It is such a well-known trope that it has probably cost this classic some readers, which is unfortunate. It's a good book.After reading Treasure Island my expectations were not terribly high for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but it turned out to be a much more thought provoking read. It is really about man's eternal struggle with him/herself, something we all witness whether it be in the context of a relatively harmless midlife crisis or a life-threatening addiction. Stevenson goes beyond the notion of a simplistic duality in us:"... I hazard the guess that man will be ultimately known for a mere polity of multifarious, incongruous, and independent denizens."It gives the reader plenty to think about, and there are plenty of lessons to take away - that we should be judged by our actions rather than mere thoughts, chief among them for me.

I originally selected this book because I have it on my bookshelf and I have never had the time to read it. I pulled it off the shelf and placed it by my bed with hopes to finish it before my reading class was over. As it turned out I just never found the time to crack open the cover. Therefore, I searched for the audio version. To my surprised I found it right away at a reseaonable price and by a narrartor with which I was familiar. I have listen to Dick Hill narrate several novels I have read by Sanda Brown. I listened to the book in one night. I was was intrigued by the story but also confused. I had a hard time following the narration. A few times I glanced through the book while i was listening to Dick read the pages. I was surprised with how difficult this book is to read. I didn't think it would be so complicated. I had never thought of this as a text for children, and now I really don't think that it is. I think the text is too difficult for many students, and students in the classes I teach would need a lot of background information taught before a story like this could be even be looked at. I do not forsee reading this book to my class, or for my class. I am glad I read the story and I feel it was important, but I think the text would be better suited for a college level course where students were able to talk about the characters in greater detail and with greater insight. I do recommend this book for adults. The text is a classic and it should still be read because it did explain what I knew about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

[rsplenda477 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

A great example of the theme of the duality of man, which all of us carry in our hearts. Stevenson exploits these fears in a well-structured, yet somewhat difficult, novel.

[something_-1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

I fantom I would have liked this book a lot more if I didn't already know from the start who was Hyde. Nevertheless, it was actually very interesting once the "action" picked up. Although I found Utterson somewhat boring at times, the ending of the book made it worth it to see it through. The most interesting part was definitely the explanation of Dr Jekyll himself at the end, which I read eagerly. Overall, it was a nice book.

[maydacat_1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Of course, everyone knows the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, but if you haven’t read the novel, you probably are missing the intention of Stevenson’s story. Jekyll wanted to free mankind from his evil, baser nature, but in the end, was doomed by it. This novel is a brilliant study in the dual nature of man, and the conclusion must be that when it is tampered with, at least in this case, evil wins. If we assume that Hyde was pure evil, is it safe to assume that Jekyll was all good? But if he were, would he have concocted the formula that split him into two unique beings? Ultimately, Jekyll could only overcome Hyde’s tendencies when he was one whole being. The concept and story remain fascinating even now, more than a century after it was penned.

[booklove2 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

It was time to read this classic as it seems to be culturally everywhere at the moment. I'm in no way a writer, but I would have formatted this book to tell this story entirely differently. It might be presumptuous of me, but I like how it exists in my head better. (Alternating points of view from both Jekyll and Hyde with vastly different writing styles... halfway through the book you find it is the same person. Hyde slowly taking over by the end.) Maybe that is the fault of books being culturally everywhere all of the time: vaguely making assumptions about how it is written if you know the story. I didn't like the perspective from outside people ie: the lawyer. It's the only complaint I would have of a book like Bronte's Wuthering Heights: the housekeeper is telling the story and no matter how much she might have known Catherine or Heathcliff, no one can REALLY know everything from one person's perspective. Imagine the book being from Catherine and Heathcliff's POVs! Oh the drama! I thoroughly enjoyed the section on Stevenson's crazy dreams in my Broadview edition. And I thought I had crazy dreams! If he had dreams like that this book really should be better...sorry, Stevenson.

[lord_boris-1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Other reviews have dwelt on themes of duality etc and others still correctly state that the impact of this book is lessened by how much of its plot is already in the collective consciousness of readers. You know before reading it that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person, it has entered our language. Never having read the book before, the thing I was most struck with was its apparent concern with drug addiction. The negative effects of drugs and the associated shame and secrecy.

“and at last, in an hour of moral weakness, I once again compounded and swallowed the transforming draught.”

“It took on this occasion a double dose to recall me to myself; and alas! six hours after, as I sat looking sadly in the fire, the pangs returned, and the drug had to be re-administered.”

“Many a man would have even blazoned such irregularities as I was guilty of; but from the high views that I had set before me, I regarded and hid them with an almost morbid sense of shame.”

A quick google reveals that he wrote Jekyll and Hyde during a six day cocaine binge and spent much of his later, short life, hooked on opium, alcohol and morphine. This was possibly for well intentioned medicinal reasons as he was not a well man. Nevertheless, this leaves me thinking this is a much darker, personal book than perhaps is generally believed.

[ameise1 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

This was an amusing listening. What first began as completely harmless showed itself with time as a transformation comedy of the first kind. I like how Stevenson leads the reader very slowly to the two protagonists, in order then to give an extra tension with a fulminate turn of the story.

[clancy.coonradt · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Great piece of literature. Really interesting way of keeping the reader blind to very key pieces of information that would allow for easier identification of potential threats and climaxes. Really enjoy RLS and look forward to reading more of his work.

A quick fun little read, definitely worth the time.

Short and sweet and pretty interesting. Not a bad read.

[dmu-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I liked this book a lot. It's a short book but it still has lots of mystery and exciting parts within it. It's about a man named Mr. Utterson who tries to learn about the mysterious Mr. Hyde who is Dr. Jekyll's evil side.In the book, the setting is based in England. Dr. Jekyll finds a way to make a compound that allows him to transform into a separate personality, Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde is a younger and pure evil being. I personally like Mr. Hyde's name a lot. His name sounds like the word "hide" and Mr. Hyde's personality reflects his name. He tries to be discreet and tries to not talk to anyone unless he has to. Throughout the book, Mr. Utterson tries to learn about this mysterious Mr. Hyde. Almost nobody knows about him. Finally, after many mysterious encounters with Dr. Jekyll and one murder, he learns who Mr. Hyde truly is when he reads a letter that was left for him. I also liked this book a lot because the story isn't just told from the point of view of one person. It's mainly told from the point of view from one person, but it's also told from the point of view of two other people.This book is very good! It makes you feel multiple emotions as you read it. It makes you excited, scared, surprised, and curious. I would recommend it to many people.

[flying_monkeys_1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Rating: 5 of 5What can be said about a classic such as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? A story so well-known, one that has permeated our culture so completely (perhaps rivaled only by Frankenstein and Dracula), most everyone knows the gist without ever having read the novella or watched a film adaption. I daresay, little, if anything new, or at the very least, "fresh." Thus I will stick to my personal reaction in this review.From a writer's perspective, I applaud (and appreciate) the structure and narrative style. Stevenson built upon (and relied on) the reader's natural curiosity and desire to solve the mystery of Mr. Hyde, to know what was "really" happening, which probably made this quite the sensational page-turner during its initial publication in 1886. I read the story much slower than I do with most modern fiction; there's much to savor and digest for those patient enough to nibble. One of the story's less subtle themes - repression of one's curiosity and not asking questions that "shouldn't" be asked - was ingenious, wasn't it? Given the tools Stevenson utilized to engage readers. OH! And the descriptions throughout the story often knocked me for a loop they were so ... distinct; Stevenson knew exactly what images he wanted to conjure up in readers' minds.I will definitely give this one a re-read whenever I want a refresher in (1) allegory and (2) the characterization and theme of duality and hypocrisy.Disclaimer: If you are bored or confused by complex sentences, extended paragraphs, and/or Victorian Era prose, then The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde probably won't float your boat.

[srboone · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

Slow in places (strange for such a short work), but exciting and suspenseful, this is a fun read. I got my nephew to read it by showing him that this was where The Incredible Hulk came from and he lapped it up. Now he doesn't have patience for funny books anymore!

[jmoncton_1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Wonderful story, although the verbose language made this one slightly harder to get through. Although Scott Brick is one of my favorite narrators, I would have chosen a British narrator for this one. Thought provoking ideas - are we both good and evil in the same body?

[andrewcambs · Nota: 1 de 5 estrelas]

This might be deemed as somewhat of a classic amongst some people, but i found it dull. Despite being surprised by just how short it was, it took me as much effort as a 300+ page book to get through. Hard going, slow, and not particularly enthralling i'm afraid.I read the Penguin English Library edition, and was reading the story, when all of a sudden all the characters changed along with the plot.. only to realise that i was now reading the short story 'The Bottle Imp' that was added to the back of the book - i hadn't even realised i'd finished Dr Jekyll & Mr Hide. That's just how enthralling it was.

[alexmdac · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Although I already knew what happens in this tale, I found it a gripping read and the climax very effective. I enjoyed the quaint Victorian language and moral values.The weather updates to be found throughout the narrative feature colourful metaphors and similes that I hadn't seen before. This book would be useful reading for anyone who would like to make conversation with people as obsessed with climatic conditions as Robert Louis Stevenson clearly was. It'd be a good book for a flight to the UK.
