Description
The sudden appearance and unlikely connection of the sinister Mr. Edward Hyde to the amiable Dr. Henry Jekyll troubles Jekyll's friends. The more they discover about Hyde, a man as elusive as he is venal and cruel, the greater their concern. Matters lurch out of control when Hyde is revealed as a murderer and Jekyll seems to be protecting him. The revelation of Hyde's terrible connection to Jekyll has become a cultural archetype but has lost none of its uncanny power on the page.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde first appeared in 1886 and was an immediate sensation. More than 130 years and dozens of adaptations to stage and screen later, the story retains its primal power. A twisted mystery, a gothic horror story, a psychological thriller, it is all of these things and rises above each with its unforgettable vision of human consciousness as a battlefield between good and evil.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is both modern and readable.
