Book Description
" Ce n'était pas la première fois qu'on m'enfermait dans le placard, si le terme n'est pas un peu excessif pour désigner le cagibi sous l'escalier. " Ainsi commence le journal de Mary, la servante du célèbre Dr Jekyll. Mary Reilly, modeste jeune fille de l'époque victorienne, a échappé aux ruelles sombres de son enfance et à la brutalité de son père. Ses qualités singulières d'observation, jointes à son éducation, éveillent l'intérêt de son maître, auquel elle voue une dévotion sans faille et qui, en retour, lui accorde toute sa confiance. Mais un mal étrange ronge l'homme de science, et la jeune Mary est vite mise à l'épreuve quand survient un assistant aux intentions douteuses, Edwards Hyde. Cette récréation, brillante et originale, par les yeux de la servante, du roman de Robert Louis Stevenson, Docteur Jekyll et Mister Hyde, est à la fois une réussite littéraire et un roman à suspense riche en émotions. Le livre vient d'être porté à l'écran par le réalisateur anglais Stephen Frears avec dans les deux rôles principaux Julia Roberts et John Malkovich. Roman traduit de l'anglais par Annie Saumont.
