Synopsis "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (in English)"

Unabridged edition Read the greatest Gothic novel of all time in a beautiful paperback edition. "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", first published in 1886, was written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. Dr. Henry Jekyll, a good man and reasonable scientist develops a potion that unleashes his secret inner persona. He is transformed into a freak of pure evil, the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde. His old friend, a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson, investigates the strange occurrences between the two personae. Like the vampire and the werewolf, the protagonists of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde embody our ambivalence with science and our deepest questions about what is knowable in human nature. This scary and enthralling timeless story is a must-read of classic literature and will make you shiver!

(Edimburgo, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) Novelista, cuentista, poeta y ensayista británico. Ingresó en la Universidad de Edimburgo cuando tenía dieciséis años para poder seguir los pasos de su padre y convertirse en ingeniero de faros, de lo cual desistiría. Sus estudios de náutica, le permitieron entrar en contacto con las gentes y costumbres marineras, ingredientes fundamentales en algunas de sus obras más conocidas. Su famosa obra, La Isla del tesoro, la publicó bajo el seudónimo de Captain George North en 1881. En 1886, llegaría El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura. Murió en la Isla de Samoa, en su casa, Vailima.
