This intriguing combination of fantasy thriller and moral allegory depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities for the soul of one man — one essentially good, the other evil. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveal Robert Louis Stevenson as a novelist of great skill and originality.Stevenson’s masterpiece of the dichotomy of good and evil in man’s nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconscious—during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him, alerted by his screams. More than a hundred years later, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner persona—the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde—has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekyll’s desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul—and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. Written before Freud’s naming of the ego and the id, Stevenson’s enduring classic demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the personality’s inner conflicts—and remains the irresistibly terrifying stuff of our worst nightmares.
