Der merkwürdige Fall von Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde

A mysterious figure appears in the night streets of London – and is just as quickly gone. It manifests as the embodiment of all the dark passions that lie dormant in the depths of the human soul, a spawn of evil that does not shy away from murder. All that is known about it is its name: Mr. Hyde.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, written in 1886 and considered one of the most famous horror stories in world literature, is a fascinating combination of a gripping thriller and a psychological study of the dual nature of humanity. It is presented here in a masterful new translation by Mirko Bonné, with an afterword by Dieter Hamblock and a concise biography of the author.
