Here is an unabridged version of the classic gothic novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It tells the story of mild-mannered lawyer G.J. Utterson who becomes alarmed by the odd behavior of his friend and client Dr. Henry Jekyll. After apparently befriending the mysterious and ill-tempered Edward Hyde, Dr. Jekyll's behavior becomes erratic and after a local murder is attributed to Hyde, the lawyer is forced to conclude that his friend has been caught up in a sinister extortion scheme. This thrilling story has become so intertwined with our cultural narrative that Jekyll and Hyde has become shorthand for those people with seemingly split personalities.
