The idea for Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal masterpiece of psychological terror sprang from the deepest recesses of his own subconscious -- a nightmare from which his wife awakened him. He wrote it as a stark yet complex tale whose popularity has endured for more than a century, making the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" synonymous with man's internal war between good and evil. Brilliantly anticipating modern psychology, Stevenson's story of the kindly scientist who drinks a potion that nightly transforms him into a stunted, evil version of himself is a tale of incomparable suspense and horror.


Washington Square Press' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has been prepared by Barry V. Qualls, professor of English at Rutgers University, and Susan J. Wolfson, professor of English at Princeton University. It includes Stevenson's notes, a selection of critical excerpts, suggestions for further reading, and a unique visual essay of period illustrations and photographs.

    The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

    The devil is in everyone of us.
    A foundamental study of the duality of humane nature, in the shape of a great novel of all the times.

    Snapping into a different character. I mean I become possessed. I have no control. It is as if I am someone else. Oh my. That's it. I have a split personality. Spooky. Really eerie. Kind of chilling. The other me must have a name. What is it? How to I get the other me out? I must ATTACK, repeatedly, and then again. I am determined. I am stealth. I am on a mission...YOU, SURRENDER!

    I really liked this book, although this story is very famous I had never read it. In my opinion, it is very interesting because the book shows the conflict between good and evil. I recommend it! I got it at Abbacus, very cheap!

  • The story is so well known that one wouldn't expect to be surprised and thrilled by reading it (and not for the first time either). But it still has an awesome "kick".
