Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in man's nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconscious—during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him, alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner persona—the loathsome, twisted Mr Hyde—has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekyll's desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul.

Il primo romanzo di uno degli autori più importanti della letteratura mondiale. Pubblicato nel 1877 su una rivista londinese, il testo è stato riscoperto solo nel 1982 grazie a una lettera ritrovata nell'università di Yale che ne attesta la paternità dello scrittore scozzese. Come molte opere prime, "Una vecchia canzone" presenta una buona dose delle tematiche che, seppur non del tutto sviluppate, caratterizzano le opere più mature di Stevenson.
