Description

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a gripping tale of duality, morality, and the dark recesses of the human soul. Set in the fog-laden streets of Victorian London, this timeless classic delves into the haunting consequences of tampering with the boundaries of science and ethics.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist, yearns to separate the good and evil halves of his nature. Through an unorthodox experiment, he unleashes Edward Hyde, a monstrous alter ego unbound by conscience and driven by depravity. As Hyde’s sinister acts escalate, Jekyll loses control of his dark creation, leading to devastating consequences that question the very nature of identity and free will.

A masterful blend of psychological insight and Gothic horror, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores the fragile balance between civility and savagery within us all. It is a chilling reminder that the line between good and evil is far thinner—and more dangerous—than we dare to believe. A cornerstone of literary history, Stevenson’s novella remains as hauntingly relevant today as it was upon its release, an unforgettable exploration of humanity’s shadowed depths.
