Роберт Луис Стивенсон – английский писатель шотландского происхождения. Широко известен как автор романа «Остров сокровищ». Обладал поистине уникальным литературным дарованием: он писал на самые разные темы и в самых разных жанрах. Что могло бы связать добропорядочного Генри Джекиля с порочным уродливым карликом Эдвардом Хайдом? И где вообще обитает этот злодей и убийца Хайд? Эти два вопроса и странные события, разворачивающиеся при участии этих двух персон, никого не оставят равнодушным. Безотчетный ужас навевают запутанные происшествия повести «Странный случай с доктором Джекилем и мистером Хайдом». В заключении дневник Джекиля, полный жутких подробностей, прояснит трагическую гибель своего автора. Сам же Стивенсон писал о своем произведении, отправляя экземпляр американскому художнику Уильяму Г.Лоу: «Посылаю Вам готического карлика… думаю, что этот карлик небезынтересен, он вышел из глубины моего существа, где сторожит фонтан слез». Аудиокнига прочитана Бенджамином Сарджентом в оригинале и представляет интерес для всех изучающих английский язык.

If you were a mouse trapped in a maze and someone kept moving the cheese, what would you do? Over a decade ago the bestselling business fable Who Moved My Cheese? offered its answer to this question: accept that change is inevitable and beyond your control, don’t waste your time wondering why things are the way they are, keep your head down and start looking for the cheese. But success in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and business growth—as well as personal growth—depends on the ability to push the boundaries, reshape the environment, and play by a different set of rules: our own. With that in mind, Harvard Business School professor Deepak Malhotra offers a radically different answer to this question. Malhotra tells an inspiring story about three unique and adventurous mice—Max, Big, and Zed—who refuse to accept their reality as given. As we watch their lives unfold and intersect, we discover that instead of just blindly chasing after the cheese, each of us has the ability to escape the maze or even reconfigure it to our liking. In the face of established practices, traditional ideas, scarce resources, and the powerful demands or expectations of others, we often underestimate our ability to control our own destiny and overcome the constraints we face—or think we face. I Moved Your Cheese reminds us that we can create the new circumstances and realities we want, but first we must discard the often deeply ingrained notion that we are nothing more than mice in someone else’s maze. As Zed explains, “You see, Max, the problem is not that the mouse is in the maze, but that the maze is in the mouse.”

It is getting dark and you want to get home quickly. You enter a narrow side-street. Everything is quiet, but as you pass the door of a large, windowless building, you hear a key turning in the lock. A man comes out and looks at you. You have never seen him before, but you realize immediately that he hates you. You are shocked to discover, also, that you hate him. Who is this man that everybody hates? And why is he coming out of the laboratory of the very respectable Dr Jekyll?
