Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

by Robert Louis Stevenson

A short novel of Victorian London, written in a white heat and published to immediate fame in 1886, this is the book that gave a name to something readers already suspected about themselves. It has been copied and retold so many times that the original comes as a surprise: quieter, stranger, and more disturbing than any version that followed. To read it is to understand why no retelling has ever quite replaced it.
