Description:
"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, " Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil, has become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a moral tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives. Also in this volume are "The Body Snatcher, " which charts the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and "Olalla, " a tale of vampirism and "the beast within" which features a beautiful woman at its center.
Expand description
