The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

About

The London lawyer Utterson grows uneasy about the strange bond between his upstanding friend Dr. Jekyll and the brutish, repellent Mr. Hyde who is terrorizing the city's streets. A sealed will, a trampled child, a murdered gentleman, and a locked laboratory door draw him deeper into a mystery that finally confronts him with the other face hidden inside the human soul. Stevenson compresses a whole theory of good, evil, and Victorian repression into a taut, feverish novella. Short, unforgettable, and the template for every dual-identity story that has followed.
