Book summary

In foggy London, the lawyer Utterson is troubled by the will of his friend, the respected Dr Jekyll, which leaves everything to a certain Mr Hyde. Who is this brutal little man who tramples a child in the street, and why does he have the key to Jekyll's house? When a murder is committed, Utterson investigates, until the truth comes out in two letters. A short novel, told like an investigation, with a famous ending.

The plot

Who is this Mr Hyde? Night after night, Mr Utterson, a London lawyer, watches a small door. He wants to see the face of Mr Hyde, to whom his friend Dr Jekyll means to leave everything he owns.

The world of the book

A city of fog and secrets. In Queen Victoria’s London, a gentleman must stay above reproach: a single rumour can ruin his good name. Behind the façades, in the fog and under the gas lamps, everyone hides a secret.
