"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (commonly known as "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde") is by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the sinister Mr. Edward Hyde.The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, split in the sense that within the same person there is both an apparently good and an evil personality each being quite distinct from the other. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll_and_Mr._Hyde

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
I wrote my first novel at age 3, taking a ream of paper and a pen and mimicking the squiggly writing that I had observed grown-ups using. Okay, it was twenty pages of scribbles, but to me it was the Great American Novel, and my grandmother seemed to be pleased with it. Today I still enjoy writing novels, short stories, novellas, screenplays, stage plays, and lyric plays. Perhaps the mark of the writer is not what he writes, but that he writes. I always enjoyed comedy, so my first few efforts were of a comedic nature, and I will always instill some humor even into my more serious, mainstream works.
I have been trying to crack the secret to writing classics; I try to read mostly authors whose works have remained in print for eighty years or more. Still, I have time for more contemporary works, like those of Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, and Douglas Adams, to name but a few. I think I may have struck upon the crucial sequence, plots, characters, writing style and everything to keep me published for a hundred years or more. Now I just need to sell some books.
I have recently resettled in San Antonio, Texas, to try to remember the Alamo. No matter how deeply I concentrate, it still feels a little before my time.

Another great classic. I liked that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one person marked by dual personality, one aspect of which is good and the other bad. Such a great read.

I’ve heard of this book my whole life. I’ve referred to myself and others as having Jekyll/Hyde personalities, but I’ve never really known the context. I’ve never seen any of the adaptations done for television or the movies, and I wasn’t even sure of the story’s plot. Given that it’s a short read, and I’m delving into the creepy books for October, I decided it was time to finally add this book to my “finished” shelf.

While Kindle Unlimited currently offers this book and the audible narration (performed by Matthew Lloyd Davies), I opted to follow along with the Richard Armitage reading. Given that this story was writing by a Scottish author in the 1880’s, I was incredibly grateful for the Kindle dictionary!

Once I was able to get past the language of the Victorian era (which can be dry, but be patient), the story was a chilling and creepy tale. Stevenson was in ill health when he wrote this book and you can’t help but feel his own struggle of mortality reflected in his characters.

I’m glad I have finally read this story, and while it’s not a book I can call a personal favorite, I do appreciate the popularity of the book. I am looking forward to watching an adaptation to hopefully deepen my understanding of the story-I know there are levels I’m not considering upon this first-time read.

Well worth checking out if you're only familiar with the adaptations

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" seems to be one of those works that everyone has heard of, but few people have actually read. And until recently I was one of those people -- I was mostly aware of it via pop culture, especially a few Looney Toons shorts that utilized bits of the concept. I decided it was high time I gave the original a shot... and while the language of the time period can be dry to modern readers and decades of exposure have rendered the twist ending no longer a twist, it's still a chilling read.

In Victorian London, attorney Gabriel Utterson has noticed some troubling behavior in his client and friend, the kindly and mild-mannered doctor Henry Jekyll. Not only has word spread that Jekyll is connected to a loathsome and villainous character known only as Mr. Hyde, but he's recently changed his will to leave everything he has to Hyde in the event of his death. Concerned that Hyde is manipulating his friend, Utterson seeks to intervene... especially after Hyde is witnessed as having committed a brutal murder. But when Utterson finally confronts Jekyll, he learns the shocking truth behind Jekyll and Hyde's connection...

Given that this book was written in the 1880s, the language used can feel a bit dry and stilted to modern readers. But Stevenson is still a good storyteller, and knows how to keep the suspense going throughout this story. Even readers already familiar with the twist ending should feel the chills as Utterson pursues the mystery and watches his friend's behavior become more and more erratic as the story goes. And amusingly, the original version of this book contains a joke that modern readers might have assumed was inserted into adaptations by other parties.

While short and a bit dry, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is still a suspenseful read, and well worth checking out if you're only familiar with the adaptations.

A Classic but Somewhat Difficult to Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

Like most other people, I have been familiar with the phrase "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," but I had never read the tale by Robert Louis Stevenson. As I was about to read "The Jekyll Revelation," I decided that I should first read "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
I was surprised to learn that it was a short novella rather than a full-length book. The style of writing is set at a mature level, and I was thankful to have a dictionary app in my iPad to assist in understanding Victorian Era vocabulary. Because I have become used to the fluff that passes for good writing today, I had some difficulty following the story despite having a BA in history and MA in geography. Even so, I recommend the novella and encourage its reading so that folks will have a clear appreciation of the story behind the phrase "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

It Seems These Days I'm Terrified Of The Darker Side of Me

Reviewed in Germany on October 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

Diving into Stevenson's haunting tale, I was struck by its profound reflection on duality and the human psyche. The novella offers a potent allegory for substance abuse, particularly alcoholism, a theme that echoes deeply in our modern society. Stevenson's eloquent prose is a delight, painting a vivid picture of Dr. Jekyll's internal battle.

In seeking refuge from his darker impulses, Jekyll's creation of Mr. Hyde serves as a haunting representation of one's Jungian shadow. "A change had come over me. It was no longer the fear of the gallows, it was the horror of being Mr. Hyde that wracked me." This quote resonated powerfully, mirroring the inner torment many face. The narrative closely aligns with Prime Circle's lyric, "It seems these days I'm terrified of the darker side of me." It's a chilling reminder of the battle between our base desires and moral compass.

Stevenson's exploration of a man, brilliant in his field, grappling with moral complexities is deeply compelling. The inseparability of Jekyll and Hyde, two entities sharing one body, captures the essence of the eternal struggle between good and evil within us all.

For readers eager to delve into the depths of the human mind, especially those with a keen interest in the Jungian shadow, this novella is an essential read. Fans of Stevenson's work, such as "Treasure Island," will appreciate his distinctive voice, and those preparing to explore Annie Grace's "The Naked Mind" will find it a fitting precursor. An invaluable exploration of humanity's darker corners, I'd highly recommend it to those seeking insights into substance abuse and the complexities of the soul.

Libro classico che racconta la figura del doppio, genere giallo. È un'edizione autopubblicata, ma di ottima fattura per un prezzo tanto basso (intorno ai 7€), in versione inglese integrale. Il volume è arrivato in pochissimo tempo, in contemporanea ad un altro libro ordinato nello stesso momento, ma da venditori diversi. Consigliato per la lettura in lingua straniera.

Mr Hyde and Dr Jekyll live on

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

I read Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in order to understand better two strange men of my acquaintance. The tale was extremely enlightening but it is probably more geometrically metaphysical than true life. Nevertheless, both the men I know are as clever and charming as Dr Jekyll and seem unable to stop themselves from transforming, within seconds, into Mr Hyde. Two weeks after finishing the novella I am still making comparisons with these figures from real life. Published in 1886, the book does come from another era but, even so, it is completely absorbing — particularly as the horror and terror is laid out, with such painful feelings behind them, in the final stages. Stevenson is such a marvellous writer of the gothic tale, with the contrasts, the innovations (here of psychology and ideas of dualism) and the lush desire for satisfaction in a prim life.
