About this audiobook
Henry Jekyll is an idealistic young scientist whose main goal it is to unlock the secrets of the human soul. He creates many different potions and chemical mixtures in his lab, but still struggles with discovering its secret. After he creates his most recent elixir, Jekyll drinks it; he hopes this formula will eliminate people’s evil side. However, things go terribly wrong and the effect is far from what he expected.
What exactly will happen after Jekyll drinks the elixir? Is he ready for the consequences of his actions?
Along with “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, in this collection you will find some of Stevenson’s grimmest short stories such as “The Suicide Club”, “The Body Snatcher”, “Markheim”, “Thrawn Janet” and “Lodging for the Nights”.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish writer of novels, poems, essays, and travel books. For most of his life, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial issues, but he kept on travelling and writing. Although his writing has often been considered pure entertainment, author Henry James aligned Stevenson’s works with his own. His most famous novels are “Treasure Island” (1883), “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” (1886), “Kidnapped” (1886) and “A Child’s Garden of Verses” (1885).
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of an engineer, Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
