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.
