Synopsis "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

A London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. A classic novel. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in six days while ill with tuberculosis and the influence of cocaine in 1885. The first draft was finished in three days. His wife did not like the story and its monster, which came to Stevenson during a medically influenced dream. She grabbed the manuscript and threw it in the fireplace, so the author hand-wrote the entire book again from memory in another three days.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
