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 most prominent representative of English neoromanticism. The struggle between good and evil became the central theme of his works. In "Strange... Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," there is a reinterpretation of the traditional theme of duality characteristic of romanticism and the Gothic novel, viewed through the lens of emerging science fiction, where the sinister double gains freedom of action through a split personality. By consuming a potion of his own creation, Dr. Jekyll, a virtuous scientist, transforms into his terrifying double, Mr. Hyde, morally depraved and physically repulsive. 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.
