Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson is an English writer of Scottish origin, poet, author of adventure novels and stories, and the largest representative of English neo-romanticism. The struggle between good and evil has become the main theme of his works. In Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, there is a rethinking of the traditional theme of duality typical of romanticism and the gothic novel through the lens of emerging science fiction, where the sinister double gains freedom of action due to split personality. By consuming a potion of his own making, Dr. Jekyll, a virtuous scientist, transforms into his terrifying double Mr. Hyde, who is morally depraved and physically repugnant. The mysterious story of the enigmatic Henry Jekyll evokes an unaccountable horror with its inexplicability. The collection also includes mystical stories and novellas by Stevenson.
