Penguin English Library Dr Jekyll Adn Mr Hyde (The Penguin English Library)

“Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.” The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a sharp, unsettling gothic classic that explores the split between respectability and desire. Through the chilling transformation of Dr Jekyll into the monstrous Mr Hyde, Stevenson examines repression, morality, and the darkness lurking beneath Victorian civility. Short, tense, and endlessly influential. 📖 Read this if you like: gothic classics, dual identities, Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, or short sharp Victorian chills.
