Description

A gripping account of man's dual nature, "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" explores the complex relationship between two men, one respectable and the other despicable. Dr Jekyll's life is marked by sociability, hard work, and piety, while his alter ego, Edward Hyde, is a violent criminal and a wild hedonist. When a member of Parliament is brutally beaten to death, Dr Jekyll's friends are determined to uncover the connection between the two men. This story, first published in 1886, remains a powerful exploration of human nature, its themes and characters continuing to appeal to readers today.
