Stevenson è uno degli autori usciti da quel particolare crogiolo artistico che fu l’Ottocento, ma le sue opere sono classici senza tempo, che affondano le radici sia nelle ballate tramandate di generazione in generazione sia nella storia britannica: come la Guerra delle Due Rose o le Rivolte Giacobite. Storie di eroi e di traditori, di amore e di onore, di avventure che diventano veri capolavori allegorici, come per esempio "L’Isola del Tesoro" e "Lo strano caso del Dottor Jekyll e del Signor Hyde", che sposta lo scontro all’interno dell’anima dell’uomo: un viaggio inquietante negli abissi della mente e del cuore, là dove si può incontrare il proprio doppio e lottare con esso. Paolo Gulisano esplora le principali tematiche di un narratore brillante e suggestivo, sempre attuale, che fa sognare il lettore riempendolo di stupore come pochi altri.
