Description
First published in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson's novella examines the split within a single human character and, by extension, within society. Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected physician, pursues an experiment to separate his moral self from his darker impulses. The result-Mr. Hyde-moves through London with increasing violence, while Jekyll struggles to control what he has set loose. Told through testimony, legal documents, and a final confession, the narrative blends mystery with psychological inquiry, inviting readers to consider how identity is constructed and concealed.
The book's enduring influence stems from its clear articulation of themes that remain relevant: the duality of human nature, the ethics of scientific experimentation, the pressures of social respectability, and the allure and danger of secrecy. Its portrayal of urban modernity-fog, anonymity, and the mingling of public and private selves-anticipates ongoing conversations about personal responsibility, addiction, medical intervention, and the roles we perform in different contexts. The phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has entered everyday language, reflecting the work's wide cultural reach through adaptations and references across media.About this Bilingual Edition
