Lo strano cado del Dr. Jekyll e Mr. Hyde di Robert Louis Stevenson è un romanzo psicologico imperniato sulla vicenda di un medico che scopre la doppia natura degli esseri umani e che si propone di creare un farmaco capace di separare le due anime dell’uomo, consentendo loro di vivere esistenze separate.

"Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde" est une nouvelle écrite par Robert Louis Stevenson et publiée en janvier 1886. Ce récit est devenu un modèle du genre d'épouvante à ressort psychanalytique. Le Dr Jekyll, gentleman londonien respectable, est envahi par l'idée d'avoir deux personnalités opposées en lui : la première est consciente et honorable, la seconde laisse place à toutes les perversions de son subconscient. Alors qu'il tente de détruire le Mr Hyde qui se trouve en lui, c'est le Dr Jekyll qui va peu à peu disparaître.

Having just witnessed the lethal consequences uncontrolled spirits can have on the unsuspecting, the agency joins forces with several others to prevent the cult from unleashing chaos and ending the world’s fragile protection from dangerous spirits.

Eigentlich hatten Dr. Morbius und seine Mitstreiter auf ruhigere Zeiten gehofft, doch ausgerechnet der korrupte Scotland-Yard-Inspektor Thorn bittet sie um Hilfe.

In seiner Eigenschaft als Chirurg soll er der verstümmelten Rosemary zudem ein neues Gesicht verschaffen.

Pubblicato nel 1886, Lo strano caso del Dr. Jekyll e Mr. Hyde, è considerato una pietra miliare della letteratura di tutti i tempi. Il capolavoro di Stevenson analizza l'eterna lotta tra il bene ed il male con una potenza drammatica che lo ha reso un’opera di portata universale. Il tema del “doppio” emerge prepotentemente dagli esperimenti del dott. Jekyll, il quale esplorando il lato oscuro di ogni essere umano, incontra il suo spaventoso alter ego: Mr. Hyde.

In a fog-wreathed London, the respected Dr Jekyll’s experiments on the dual nature of man unleash a brute that feels no moral restraint or remorse. Although excited by this freedom, Jekyll discovers that he is unable to control the power of his vicious alter ego and is faced with shameful discovery or ignominious death.
