The Wrong BoxNonesuch, 1989 - 225 pàgines Written in 1889, this is one of Stevenson's strangest works, a black comedy which relies on mistaken identity, the disappearance of a corpse and several makeshift coffins. Its eccentricity perplexed some Victorian readers and extended the bounds of Victorian good taste. |
