Synopsis

Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is a classic literary work that explores the duality of human nature through the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll and his sinister alter ego, Mr. Edward Hyde. Written in a gripping and suspenseful style, the novella delves into the darker aspects of the Victorian society, questioning the boundaries between good and evil. Stevenson's use of symbolism and foreshadowing enhances the eerie atmosphere of the narrative, making it a truly haunting read for those interested in psychological horror and moral ambiguity. The novella stands as a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and unforgettable characters. Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish novelist and travel writer, was known for his ability to weave intricate narratives that captured the essence of human emotions and desires. 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' may have been influenced by Stevenson's own fascination with the complexities of human psyche and the constant struggle between morality and temptation. His keen observation of human behavior shines through in this classic work, making it a must-read for literature enthusiasts and fans of gothic fiction. I highly recommend 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking tales of mystery and psychological suspense. Stevenson's masterful storytelling and profound exploration of human nature make this novella a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.

    Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband.
    
    Promisingly, Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.
