Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil.

After taking an elixir created in his laboratory, mild-mannered Dr Jekyll is transformed into the cruel and despicable Mr Hyde. Although seemingly harmless at first, things soon descend into chaos and Jekyll quickly realises there is only one way to stop Hyde.

Stevenson's quintessential novella of the Victorian era epitomises the conflict between psychology, science, and religious morality, but is fundamentally a triumphant study of the duality of human nature.

About the Author

Poet and novelist ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON (1850-1894) was the author of a number of classic books, including Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Mr. Stevenson was often ill as a child and spent much of his youth confined to his nursery, where he first began to compose stories even before he could read.
