The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Respectable London lawyer Gabriel Utterson grows uneasy over his old friend Dr. Henry Jekyll's association with the sinister Edward Hyde, a man whose mere presence seems to inspire revulsion. As a string of violent incidents draws Utterson deeper into the mystery, he begins to suspect a connection between the two men that defies reason. Stevenson's classic novella of a divided self remains one of literature's most enduring explorations of the duality of human nature, and gave the world an enduring shorthand for a person with two very different sides.
