This little novel by Robert Lewis Stevenson is a real classic of the “horror literature”. Moreover, its popularity with time only increases.The scientist puts on a daring and dangerous experiment. From the depths of the subconscious, he releases his dark personality, the sinister scoundrel and murderer, Mr. Hyde. He causes an inexplicable disgust for everyone who communicates with him. Dr. Henry Jekyll, nevertheless, leaves a testament in which, in the event of his death, leaves all to Hyde.
Instantly the spirit of hell awoke in me and raged. With a transport of glee, I mauled the unresisting body, tasting delight from every blow; and it was not till weariness had begun to succeed, that I was suddenly, in the top fit of my delirium,
