Publisher's Summary

‘The animal within me licking the chops of memory….’

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a chilling novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886. The subject matter may be partly that of a shilling shocker, but the whole is executed with great panache and a fine Gothic sensibility. Lawyer Gabriel Utterson leads us apace through the rain-swept streets of Victorian London in pursuit of the diminutive but thoroughly monstrous Mr. Hyde. The upright Dr. Jekyll, inexplicably Hyde’s patron and defender, grows increasingly reclusive, and Utterson is further alarmed by the bizarre alterations made by Jekyll to his Last Will and Testament.

Robert Louis Stevenson here explores the duality of man, examines concepts of good and evil and the desire to escape the straightjacket of social rectitude whilst keeping up appearances and avoiding the consequences. But like his other enduring classic, Treasure Island, it is much more than that: it is a thrilling tale brilliantly told.

    "Unfortunately a Mark Twain Classic"

    Let me clarify. Mark Twain once said a classic is "a book everyone praises but nobody reads". I feel like that's happened here. Everyone knows, uses, and gets the reference but most people haven't read it. I wish that would change. Much more enjoyable than I worried it might be. Short but will give you a few nuggets to chew over for a few days.

    "Great classic"

    I recently saw Jekyll and Hyde the Musical and realized I'd never read the classic book by Stevenson. Well worth a listen.
