About this product

Product Information

Robert Louis Stevenson originally wrote Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde as a "chilling shocker." He then burned the draft and, upon his wife's advice, rewrote it as the darkly complex tale it is today. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, Jekyll And Hyde is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature--as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror. Published in 1866, Jekyll And Hyde was an instant success and brought Stevenson his first taste of fame. Though sometimes dismissed as a mere mystery story, the book has evoked much literary admirations. Vladimir Nabokov likened it to Madame Bovary and Dead Souls as "a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction."

  • Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: Tale about feeding the good dog!

    I bought the book because it was on the high school freshman summer reading list. It is a very good story with a great moral truth.

It is a lesson that every ninth grader should be introduced to even though they may not quite get it. I think we all have two natures. One nature is good and one is bad. Which ever nature we feed is the one that is going to have domination in our life. Jekyll continued to feed the bad side of his life. He was aware that his secret sin was wrong but he became addicted to it and always went back to it. He kept feeding his bad dog and eventually it became stronger than his good dog. He thought ...
