"The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" entering the vernacular to refer to people with an unpredictably dual nature: outwardly good, but sometimes shockingly evil.

A single person - but with two personalities: one that’s noble and kind and another that’s pure, repulsive evil. Robert Louis Stevenson’s engrossing masterpiece about the dual nature of man - and a good doctor whose thirst for knowledge has tragic consequences - serves up all the suspense and satisfying chills one expects from the best horror and science fiction.

Robert Louis Stevensons Romane und Erzählungen sind weltbekannt geworden. Von 1890 bis zu seinem Tod 1894 lebte er auf der Samoa - Insel Upolu. Dort entstand auch die Novelle "Der Flaschenteufel", in der Keawe, der Held der Erzählung, in den Besitz einer Flasche gelang, in der ein Teufel wohnt, der alle Wünsche erfüllen kann. Diese Flasche muss man aber stets billiger verkaufen als man sie gekauft hat, denn es liegt ein Fluch auf der Flasche: wer noch im Besitz der Flasche ist, wenn er stirbt, der muss im ewigen Höllenfeuer schmoren. Wie es Keawe gelingt dem Fluch zu entkommen und wie ihm Kokua, seine Frau, dabei hilft, erzählt dieses Hörbuch.
