This mesmerizing thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature and was first published in 1886. Why has the mild mannered Dr. Jekyll suddenly begun to associate with the ugly and violent Mr. Hyde? And why are they never seen together? When Jekyll's old friend Utterson tries to solve these mysteries he uncovers a horrific story of suffering and brutality that eventually leads to the terrible revelation of Mr. Hyde's true identity. Read Stevenson's thrilling and titillating masterpiece, the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to knit up the jigsaw puzzle and unveil the suspense. A harrowing tale of good and evil, this classic novella describes the fundamental dichotomy of the 19th century-outward respectability and inward lust, a duality for which it has been noted as 'one of the best guidebooks of the Victorian era' and remains one of the most famous stories of English literature.
