| Summary | "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 05" by Stevenson is a collection of fictional narratives written in the late 19th century. This volume contains intriguing stories, including "More New Arabian Nights," which blends elements of crime and adventure, as well as the famous tale "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," that explores themes of duality and morality, featuring distinctive characters such as Dr. Jekyll and his sinister counterpart, Mr. Hyde. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the story "More New Arabian Nights: The Dynamiter," co-written with Fanny Stevenson. It starts with a prologue set in a lively cigar divan in London, where two old friends, Paul Somerset and Edward Challoner, reconnect. Their conversation reveals both men in a state of financial ruin, each possessing just a hundred pounds. Somerset proposes they take on the detective profession and solve a mystery involving a large reward for information about a suspicious man in a sealskin coat. The beginning lays the groundwork for themes of camaraderie and adventure, setting the stage for a story filled with intrigue and the exploration of fate.
