The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Unabridged

by Robert Louis Stevenson, Kevin Theis (Editor)

Overview

Here is an unabridged version of the classic gothic novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." It tells the story of mild-mannered lawyer G.J. Utterson who becomes alarmed by the odd behavior of his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll. After apparently befriending the mysterious and ill-tempered Edward Hyde, Dr. Jekyll's behavior becomes erratic and after a local murder is attributed to Hyde, the lawyer is forced to conclude that his friend has been caught up in a sinister extortion scheme. This thrilling story has become so intertwined with our cultural narrative that "Jekyll and Hyde" has become shorthand for those people with seemingly split personalities.

It is presented here in its original form and features a biography of the author, Scottish storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson, also known for his adventure novels "Kidnapped" and "Treasure Island."
