The lawyer Mr Utterson is deeply disturbed by Dr Jekyll's new friend, Mr Hyde, to whom Dr Jekyll has bequeathed everything he owns. Rumour has it that Mr Hyde trampled a child in the street. Mr Utterson begins to have nightmares about this unusually ugly and unsympathetic man. Meanwhile, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde seem inseparable. Apart from the titular novella, »Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde«, this volume also includes several of Stevenson's lesser-known yet equally compelling short stories, each demonstrating his remarkable storytelling prowess and keen psychological insight. From the eerie atmosphere of »The Body Snatcher«, which examines the macabre world of grave robbing, to the adventurous spirit of »Markheim«, a combination of moral drama and gothic horror, Stevenson's versatility is on full display. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON [1850–1894] was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. He is among the 30 most translated authors of all time and has been praised by Marcel Proust, Jorge Luis Borges, Vladimir Nabokov, Ernest Hemingway, and Bertolt Brecht. Treasure Island is his most famous work, along with the gothic sci-fi novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.
