The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
A chilling portrait of one man's split soul and the monstrous consequences of suppressed desire.
About this book
In this taut Victorian thriller, a respected doctor’s radical experiment to separate the respectable from the baser parts of human nature produces a chilling and uncanny counterpart, setting off a chain of events that probe the darkest corners of identity. Robert Louis Stevenson’s spare, atmospheric prose conjures fog-laced London alleys, mounting dread, and a moral puzzle that asks whether civility is ever more than a fragile mask. Part detective story, part psychological study, the novella moves with relentless momentum while unpacking timeless questions about repression, temptation, and the uneasy coexistence of good and evil within us all.
