Charles Utterson, un avoué de justice, mène l'enquête sur Mister Hyde, un étrange personnage, violent et sans scrupules, peut-être même un meurtrier. Il découvre que ce M. Hyde est très lié avec le docteur Henry Jekyll, un philanthrope sympathique et passionné par son métier. Il découvre que le docteur Jekyll se livre à des expériences scientifiques et a inventé une drogue pour séparer le bon côté de sa personnalité et de son mauvais côté.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ranks alongside Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dracula as one of the top horror stories to emerge from the late 19th Century. Film and stage adaptations have never been able to fully relate the agony and conflict that permeates the mind of Dr Jekyll, but the audio version read by Ian Holm adds an extra spine-chilling dimension to the original text by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Suppose you could travel the streets in a perfect disguise and commit any crime, indulge any vice, do whatever you wanted, to anyone you wanted, unburdened by guilt or remorse, and no one would ever know it was you. What would you do? Would you ever stop? Would you still be yourself? Or can a creature without compassion, without self-restraint, without morals, still be called human at all?

"Fábulas" es la recopilación póstuma de cuatro relatos de Robert Louis Stevenson. Autores como Jorge Luis Borges la han considerado una de las obras más originales y de mayor calidad del autor escocés. Una fábula, como decía su autor, tenía que sorprender al lector por su audacia y combinar siempre lo onírico con lo alegórico sin ofrecer soluciones fáciles o únicas a un problema que se planteara. Era el lector el que debía estar alerta para encontrar en la mitología de la fábula la justicia.

Der Notar Gabriel Utterson spürt einer Geschichte nach, die ihm Grauen bereitet, jedoch ebenso sein Interesse weckt: das Auftauchen eines kleinwüchsigen Mannes mit erschreckend bösartigen Gesichtszügen, der ein ausgesprochen schlechtes Benehmen an den Tag legt und auch vor Gewalt nicht zurück schreckt, scheint mit der Person des respektablen Dr. Henry Jekyll verknüpft zu sein. Durch hinterlassene Aufzeichnungen bestätigt sich ein schauriger Verdacht: bei Mr. Hyde und Dr. Jekyll handelt es sich um ein und dieselbe Person.

The human form is familiar to all of us. We like limbs connected to bodies. Writers of the dark and macabre are not too concerned if that remains the case. Indeed limbs, or rather pieces of the body, sometimes are best written about when not connected. It’s one of our greatest fears. It quite rightly riddles us with a very unsettling feeling. So why then do we turn the page? We’re about to find out.

For an atheist it’s a great deal, though it does suggest atheism may have a weak point. For those of faith it’s a matter of jam now and purgatory tomorrow. A bargain many artists feel is something they can live with. For agnostics it’s usually a question of can the afterlife really be that bad, would workplace regulations reach all parts of heaven and hell. However, in this volume the terms are agreed and the Devil pays his fees and the character his dues, each happy to wait a few decades for the eternal payback.
