‘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.’ Originally published as a ‘shilling shocker’, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the novel that gave the world its most enduring image of the divided self. At its heart is the unsettling relationship between the outwardly respectable Dr Jekyll and the ‘damnable young man’ Edward Hyde — a pursuit through fog-laden London streets, a series of terrible acts, and a final revelation that forces us to confront the darkest corners of human nature. A chilling psychological fantasy that has lost none of its power to disturb. This Penguin English Library edition also includes Stevenson’s equally unsettling tale ‘The Bottle Imp’. The Penguin English Library — 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
