Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Signet Classics)

Robert Louis Stevenson explores the very nature of man in this classic horror novel.

â‚¬Å“Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale.â‚¬Â

Robert Louis Stevensonâ‚¬s masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in manâ‚¬s nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconsciousâ‚¬"during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him, alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner personaâ‚¬"the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hydeâ‚¬"has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekyllâ‚¬s desperation as Hyde gains control of his soulâ‚¬"and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freudâ‚¬s naming of the ego and the id, Stevensonâ‚¬s enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personalityâ‚¬s inner conflictsâ‚¬"and remains the irresistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares.
