Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

What would happen if you let your darkness out? Are you certain you’d be able to rein it back in? When Dr. Jekyll turned toward the dark side, he was convinced he could turn back at will, while his friends assumed he’d fallen under the influence of the criminal Mr. Hyde. But the good doctor—and all his acquaintances—were very, very wrong. Can Dr. Jekyll escape the clutches of Mr. Hyde before it’s too late?

Set in the London society of the 1880s, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella is a masterful tale of suspense and psychological intrigue. The story plays to primal fears like losing control of ourselves and discovering that a person we trusted is actually someone—or something—else entirely: a monster. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a must-read for anyone who loves mysteries and crime fiction.

    An important view into the duality of mankind. The short nature of each "chapter" and the brevity of the entire work make it a convenient read.

    It’s definitely old. Big problem: SPOILER WARNING By the end of the book Jekyll is not held accountable for his actions and given a free redemption pass by death and pitied. It’s treated as everything in the story that happens is not his fault even though it clearly is.

    This book was so good; it was spooky but at the same time an allegory about our human nature: good intentions vs bad! Definitely recommend!
