This small novella tells the tale of two impossibly intertwined
gentlemen living in Victorian London---the friendly and sociable Dr
Jekyll, and the monstrously deformed, obviously dangerous Mr Hyde.
As Mr Hyde's crimes gain the attention of the police, the manhunt
is on; but every lead on Hyde consistently leads back to Jekyll
instead. When the darker truth of Hyde's identity becomes clear to
all, that the monstrous predator of London's industrial-fog
enshrouded streets is none other than Jekyll himself, transformed
by a tincture of his own making, he sets forth to destroy himself
and bring down Hyde with him. Allegedly written within a single
week under the influence of cocaine, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde is one of Scottish prose-poet Robert Louis Stevenson's
most famous and influential works. It has been remade and adapted
into numerous other mediums, including film, television, stage
performance, and graphic novel; endlessly quoted in a host of
derivative works, speeches, and religious sermons; it even served
as the foundation of Freudian psychology and the inspiration for
Freud's allegorical tale, The Beast Within. It is widely considered
to be the quintessential tale on the duality of the individual, and
the danger of suppressing humanity's baser instincts for the
outward appearance of morality.
