What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll has allowed Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, made him the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the "split personality."

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a nonfiction book titled "A Footnote to History: Eight Years of Trouble in Samoa," which was released in 1892. The political unrest and battles that took place in Samoa in the late 1800s are described in great depth in the book. During this time, a group of islands in the South Pacific called Samoa became the center of geopolitical disputes between Western countries, especially the US, Germany, and the UK. Living in Samoa at the time, Stevenson saw firsthand the intricate relationships that arose between the local Samoan people and the foreign forces competing for dominance of the islands. The book examines a number of facets of Samoan politics, society, and culture while highlighting the effects of imperialism and colonialism as well as the independence movement. Stevenson chronicles the abuses meted out to the Samoan people, in addition to opposing group disputes and foreign government intrusions. In addition to providing historical context, "A Footnote to History" critiques Western imperialism and its effects. Stevenson's firsthand observations and comments offer important background information for comprehending the dynamics of colonialism in the Pacific region as well as the complexity of Samoan history.
