The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
0 - Default Title
Description
'He put the glass to his lips, and drank at one gulp. A cry followed; he reeled, staggered, clutched at the table and held on, staring with injected eyes, gasping with open mouth; and as I looked there came, I thought, a change-he seemed to swell-his face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt and alter...'
Troubled by the strange behaviour of his friend, Dr Jekyll, a young London lawyer decides to investigate. But the truth, as he discovers that Jekyll and the brutal Edward Hyde are one and the same is more terrible than he could possibly have anticipated...
The young Robert Louis Stevenson haunted by nightmares that by day he worked as a respectable doctor and by night he roamed the back alleys of old-town Edinburgh. In three days of feverish creativity, he produced a story about his terrifying dream existence. His wife found it too gruesome, so he promptly burned the manuscript. But in another feverish three days he wrote it again. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde became an instant classic - a chilling exploration of the evil in all of us and a byword for terrifying, uncontrollable split personality.
