Synopsis "The Strange Case of dr Jekyll and mr. Hyde (in English)"

A fascinating and enthralling thriller, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is by far the most intriguing story of a dual personality.The book starts with the character sketch of the good Dr Jekyll, a Victorian gentleman and a man of science, who makes out a will, that were he to disappear or die, his fortune would go to a Mr Edward Hyde. From there on, you are gripped by a story so well crafted and so engaging that you can?t let go till the very end.Dr Jekyll faces terrifying consequences when he empowers his dark side to run wild, using a potion he has created, which changes him into the repulsive and debased Mr Hyde.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde centres upon the inception of humanity as dual in nature.The story of these two conflicting personalities, within one man, continues to shock readers with its chilling, realistic narrative that traces Dr. Jekyll?s desperation as Mr Hyde gains control of his soul. The entire story somehow brings us face to face with the man in the mirror, looking for that dark side lurking within each of us, and pushing us to choose the goodness instead, which abides within us all.

Escritor escocés, Robert Louis Stevenson, nacido en Edimburgo el 13 de noviembre de 1850, está considerado uno de los clásicos de la literatura del siglo XIX.

La literatura de Stevenson se centra en novelas de fantasía y de aventuras, dando como resultado una excelente producción que le valdría el éxito popular. Obras como La isla del tesoro (1883), El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde (1886) o Flecha negra (1888) han sido traducidas a decenas de idiomas y adaptadas al cine, el teatro o la televisión en multitud de ocasiones.

Debido a su frágil salud, Stevenson viajó por el mundo entero en busca de climas más saludables, convirtiéndose en un experto de la literatura y el ensayo de viajes.

Sus últimos años transcurrieron en las Islas Samoa, donde murió el 3 de diciembre de 1894.
