Riassunto

What if the real danger wasn't the monster in the shadows-but the one inside you?

Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a timeless exploration of the duality within human nature-our inner struggle between virtue and vice, light and darkness. This gripping novella, first published in 1886, continues to captivate readers with its eerie atmosphere, shocking twists, and profound moral questions.

In this modernized version, the story of Dr. Jekyll's tragic descent into chaos is as clear and unsettling as ever. Seeking to separate his noble side from his darker impulses, Jekyll develops a serum that transforms him into Edward Hyde-unrestrained, impulsive, and sinister. But what begins as scientific curiosity soon becomes a horrifying unraveling of identity.
