Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: Robert Stevenson

The Penguin English Library Edition of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

`All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil`

Published as a `shilling shocker`, Robert Louis Stevenson`s dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll`s strange association with `damnable young man` Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde`s true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity`s basest capacity for evil.

This edition also includes Stevenson`s chilling story `The Bottle Imp`.
