Роберт Луис Стивенсон – английский писатель шотландского происхождения. Широко известен как автор романа «Остров сокровищ». Обладал поистине уникальным литературным дарованием: он писал на самые разные темы и в самых разных жанрах. Что могло бы связать добропорядочного Генри Джекиля с порочным уродливым карликом Эдвардом Хайдом? И где вообще обитает этот злодей и убийца Хайд? Эти два вопроса и странные события, разворачивающиеся при участии этих двух персон, никого не оставят равнодушным. Безотчетный ужас навевают запутанные происшествия повести «Странный случай с доктором Джекилем и мистером Хайдом». В заключении дневник Джекиля, полный жутких подробностей, прояснит трагическую гибель своего автора. Сам же Стивенсон писал о своем произведении, отправляя экземпляр американскому художнику Уильяму Г.Лоу: «Посылаю Вам готического карлика… думаю, что этот карлик небезынтересен, он вышел из глубины моего существа, где сторожит фонтан слез». Аудиокнига прочитана Бенджамином Сарджентом в оригинале и представляет интерес для всех изучающих английский язык.

A university student is forced, by his lack of funds, to take the only lodging he can afford. In a strange part of the city he had never seen before, on a street named "Rue d'Auseil", he finds an apartment in an almost empty building. One of the few other tenants is an old German man named Erich Zann. The old man is mute and plays the viol with a local orchestra. He lives on the top floor and when alone at night, plays strange melodies never heard before.

Thomas Olney, a "philosopher" visiting the town of Kingsport, Massachusetts with his family, is intrigued by a strange house on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It is unaccountably high and old and the locals have a generations-long dread of the place which no one is known to have visited. With great difficulty, Olney climbs the crag, approaches the house, and meets the mysterious man who lives there. The only door opens directly onto a sheer cliff, giving access only to mist and "the abyss". The transmittal of archaic lore and a life-altering encounter with the supernatural ensue, as Olney is not the only visitor that day. He returns to Kingsport the next day, but seems to have left his spirit behind in the strange, remote dwelling.
