Robert Louis Stevenson and Tom Butler-Bowdon
About the book
A chilling exploration of humanity’s capacity for evil and the dark side of thoughtless curiosity
Exploring timeless themes of the duality of human nature, the tension between good and evil, and the consequences of tampering with the natural order, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde remains one of the enduring classics of the gothic horror genre. This new Capstone Classics edition revisits Robert Louis Stevenson’s much-loved novel, with a fresh Introduction that offers insights into its unforgettable characters.
The book follows the investigation conducted by Gabriel John Utterson, a legal expert based in London, as he explores the mysterious connection between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and a murderer named Edward Hyde. As the true cause of the coincidences is brought into sharp relief, the book’s characters are forced to reexamine their ideas of what it means to be good and the potential impacts of science and curiosity.
Inside the book:
* A tale of good, evil, and humanity that remains as relevant and gripping today as when first published
* A new introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon that offers perspectives on Stevenson’s themes and characters, his influences, and the times in which he was writing.
Perfect for everyone interested in one of the foundational stories of the gothic and science fiction traditions, this new Capstone Classics edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a must-read for fans of mysteries, thrillers, and horror fiction.
