The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, narrated by Christian Neale, is a classic tale of good and evil, exploring the duality of human nature.

Esta es sin duda una de las obras más conocidas de Stevenson, junto con "La isla del tesoro". Es un texto característico de la época victoriana como crítica a las restricciones de la hipertrofia moral del victorianismo. En un principio la convivencia entre las dos caras de Jekyll no es traumática sino solo anecdótica. Pasando el tiempo, esta oposición entre las dos caras del mismo hombre llevará a un durísimo enfrentamiento que terminará con el triunfo del bien, pero a costa de la propia vida.

In a fog-wreathed London, the respected Dr Jekyll’s experiments on the dual nature of man unleash a brute that feels no moral restraint or remorse. Although excited by this freedom, Jekyll discovers that he is unable to control the power of his vicious alter ego and is faced with shameful discovery or ignominious death.

Representing the dark underbelly of Romanticism and beyond, these stories reach the shadowy corners of the human soul as seen through the writings of some of the most prominent authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
