The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde



The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a mystery novel written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in London in 1886.
This short novel is well-known for describing the struggle between good and evil forces inside a human being. It tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected doctor of medicine, who believes that man has both good and evil sides. Dr. Jekyll experiments with a variety of potions in order to separate the two different sides, and drinks the  final drug himself. The experiment fails, and Dr. Jekyll is transformed into his evil self, Mr. Edward Hyde, a violent man who commits terrible crimes in London. This evil character becomes stronger and stronger until finally close friends of Dr. Jekyll break into his laboratory and find Mr. Hyde dead and Dr. Jekyll’s hand-written notes describing the whole experiment from the very beginning.
Several movies and theatre plays based on Stevenson’s novel have been   produced, making it one of the most famous mystery stories ever written.
