«L'estrany cas del Dr. Jekyll i Mr. Hyde» is the horror novel by Robert L. Stevenson, published by Barcanova in paperback (120 pages, in Catalan).
Dr Jekyll discovers a potion that allows him to split physically and mentally into Mr Hyde, a monstrous figure who roams the nocturnal London indulging his basest instincts. Fascinated by his discovery, the doctor turns to the brew more and more until he loses control over his own transformation. Originally published in 1886, the story has become a contemporary myth about the duality of human nature.
It belongs to the Antaviana Clàssics collection, within the Llibres infantils i juvenils series from Barcanova. Catalan edition translated from English by Aurèlia Manils Guarro.
Aimed at young readers aged 14 and over interested in the classics of mystery and horror.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
