“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is an extraordinary recording from Master Storyteller Jim Weiss, Here, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story of suspense, and the battle between good and evil, springs to life with all its stunning plot twists and remarkable characters.
Can the friends of renowned London physician Dr. Henry Jekyll save him from a mysterious, deadly fate? What is the secret Jekyll hides? Who is the sinister Mr. Edward Hyde, and what power does he hold over the universally admired doctor?
“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is much more than a classic of suspense. When it appeared, in 1886, its exploration of the inner battles between good and evil impulses in humans seized the attention of millions of astonished readers worldwide, and led to countless essays, articles, sabbath sermons, and public debates.
The power of the story remains today, nearly a century and a half later, and has led to dozens of translations, multiple motion picture versions, and dramatic and musical plays. We still use the term “Jekyll and Hyde” when we discuss good and evil impulses, making this one of the truly essential stories to know.
Now, Jim Weiss has brought it to life in a version that he suggests is appropriate for age 9 and up, and which offers a chance for modern families to learn from and discuss together the meaningful lessons of this classic.
