  The story takes place during the day in the market square. Two ordinary people walking along it, the treasurer Pocheshikhin and the correspondent of "Son of the Fatherland" Optimov, drew attention to a flock of starlings flying past. The flock sat down in the garden of the archpriest's father. During the discussion about where the flock finally sat down, in the garden of the father of the archpriest or the father of the deacon Vratoadov, passers-by began to gather around them: three old pilgrims, the father himself, Archpriest Vosmistishiev, deacon Evstigney, local vacationers, clerks.
  People began to worry whether there was a fire somewhere. Gradually a crowd gathered. They called the mayor Akim Danilych, who began to disperse the crowd. Firefighters appeared and came without water or equipment. During the excitement of the gathered crowd, a new organ received from Moscow began to sound in a nearby tavern. Hearing the organ, the crowd flocked to the tavern.
  In the evening, Akim Danilych, at the grocery store, wrote a letter about this event, in which he thanked "with tears the One who did not allow bloodshed."

  "Man is not truly one, but truly two."
  
  In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, the respected and brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll has made a terrifying discovery. Believing that every human soul is a battleground between good and evil, he develops a chemical potion to separate the two. But the experiment goes horribly wrong. Out of the laboratory emerges Edward Hyde—a man of pure, unadulterated malice who prowls the night committing acts of unspeakable violence. As Hyde's influence grows, the boundary between the two men begins to dissolve, leading to a desperate race for control and a shocking final revelation that changed the face of horror fiction forever.
  
  A Masterpiece of Suspense: Told through the eyes of the lawyer Gabriel Utterson, the story unfolds like a Victorian detective novel. Stevenson expertly builds dread through the "mystery of the door" and the unsettling physical descriptions of Hyde, whom people find "deformed" without being able to specify how—a brilliant psychological touch that suggests his evil is felt rather than seen.
  
  The Birth of Psychological Horror: Long before modern psychiatry, Stevenson explored the "repressed" desires of the Victorian gentleman. The tragedy of Dr. Jekyll isn't just his transformation into a monster, but his addiction to the freedom that being a monster provides. It is a searing critique of a society that demands outward perfection while ignoring the shadows within.
  
  Why It Endures: The phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has entered our daily language for a reason. This novella remains a terrifyingly relevant look at the masks we wear and the consequences of trying to split our own nature. It is a fast-paced, atmospheric, and profoundly philosophical journey into the heart of human darkness.

  No one could have recognized this village of ours a little over a hundred years ago: a hamlet it was, the poorest kind of a hamlet. Half a score of miserable izbas, unplastered, badly thatched, were scattered here and there about the fields. There was not an enclosure or decent shed to shelter animals or wagons.

  Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
  BOOK 6: THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT: The night of the 16th to the 17th of February, 1833, was a blessed night. Above its shadows heaven stood open. It was the wedding night of Marius and Cosette. The day had been adorable.
