The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or simply Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often spuriously called \"split personality\", wherein within the same person there are two distinct personalities. In this case, the two personalities in Dr Jekyll are apparently good and evil, with completely opposite levels of morality. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase \"Jekyll and Hyde\" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and is one of Stevenson's best-selling works. Stage adaptations began in Boston and London within a year of its publication and it has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances.","brand":"Crown Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068343959792,"sku":"2940012341044","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012341044_p0.jpg?v=1763567425","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012341044","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
