Salaperäinen Ovi

A respectable Victorian London lawyer becomes obsessed with unraveling the connection between his friend Dr. Henry Jekyll, a man of impeccable reputation, and the violent, murderous creature called Edward Hyde. When Utterson discovers that Jekyll has written a will leaving everything to Hyde, that a young girl has been trampled in the street and paid hush money with Jekyll's check, and that Hyde seems to commit atrocities that Jekyll somehow survives, the reader is pulled into a nightmare of identity and repression. The truth, when it arrives, is both shocking and inevitable, a revelation about the civilization that produced it. This is not merely a horror story but a precise anatomical examination of Victorian respectability and the violence it papered over. Stevenson understood that every gentleman contained a beast, and he gave that beast a name.
