Robert Louis Stevenson - O Médico e o Monstro (Ed. Bilingue)

London, late 19th century: a mysterious man defies the Metropolitan Police; a lawyer seeks to uncover the criminal's true identity. The somber atmosphere of the English capital permeates the story and sets the tone of mystery, as even during the day, the fog darkens the city, transforming its inhabitants into ghostly figures.

Written in 1886, the historical context of the country is also reflected in the plot: the growing progress in scientific research and experiments, the economic contrast, the urban center in a state of chaos, pollution, and the rise in crime.

The question of whether everyone possesses Good, crystallized in correct and moral conduct, and Evil, when social conventions are disregarded and condemnable acts are committed, is a current and applicable theme in various sectors of life, being one of the reasons that makes "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" one of the immortal classics of literature.

The atmosphere of suspense is extremely well crafted, and the reader perceives the darkness behind the story throughout. After all, how many times do we have to deal with the many dark facets of those we live with?
