When I was young, I was a voracious reader, especially classics, and this was one of my favorites. Now that I'm in my 60's, reading has a tendency to put me to sleep. Audio books like this are the answer, giving me a new way to enjoy my "old friends". Thank You!
On my first trip to sea we arrived at western Samoa. The fourth engineer, Alec, pointed to a hill and said, "Robert Louis Stephenson is buried there". A year later I was in Edinburgh, New Town, with my girlfriend Lynn. Being drunk, I managed to fall on my back. Bang. I turned my head and on a building was a plaque "Robert Louis Stephenson was born here". Funny old game innit.

Feedback is welcome but this isn't a forum to insult our wonderful subscribers & listeners.
For me, finding audio books has been a Godsend, for whatever reason I don't find it as easy as I once did to totally get lost in a book. Probably bc I'm a grown up now and don't have anyone to bring me food or remind me of stuff that I've to do when I'm engrossed in a book, so having the ability to more or less choose whatever I fancy reading and having it read to me while I'm busy or at the end of the day when I'm in bed and ready to drift off is awesome and I'm sure it's the same for those who are disadvantaged due to blindness or something else.
Honestly these audiobooks are awesome. It's become harder for me to focus on older literature because of the way it's written but hearing it read aloud makes it much easier to understand and focus on. Plus I get to listen while working on othet things or trying to sleep
Oh shoot, I never thought of it this way. The intentional isolation from friends/people, the loss of interest in the things you used to enjoy… thank you for this!
For me as well that very much is history of man addicted to drugs. Dr Jackyll first take drug to change to mr Hyde, but later on he need drug only to go back to normal. And he needs more and more of it. Untill it kills him. Mr Hyde is small and weak, but do lot of damage. Dr Jakyll is tall and strong, and he fixes damage done by mr Hyde. Mr Hyde doesn't control him self. Unless he need drug. Then sudenly he control him self and become smarter than dr Jackyll had ever been. And uses friends of dr Jakyll to get a drug. And making dr Jakyll losing friends in process. Mr Hyde does things that dr Jakyll will never do, but secertly desire. The only thing that maybe is symbolic is change of a body shape and face. But even that is not necessary symbolic.
Exactly. I myself write short stories that are sometimes published in small magazines and this reader, in my opinion, is reading the story in precisely the way that the author would have wished. In Victorian times many authors, as well as poets, considered the way their words would sound, not just how the they would appear on the printed page, and even tried to dictate the way in which the reader would hear those words in his mind, so as to create a sort of dialogue. You could almost say this is Stevenson’s voice, although he probably had a Scots accent.
Tyler Charles Year 11 As an educated English speaker whose profession involves words I can assure he is reading the story in the way the author intended. Google, in it’s present stage of development, could not translate this accurately.
+callum negus I get it. I often hate and struggle with books that I HAVE to read under time pressure. Years later I look back at it and think "hm that was actually interesting" and only then I re-read, and learn to apprechiate them.

I feel like the only one who came here that wasn't working for school. I recently fell in love with the musical, so I wanted to check out the book. I'm as addicted to this story as Jekyll is to Hyde.
I've heard so many references to this story during my lifetime and now I know why, what an amazing classic story about the human psyche. Mr Hyde is the ultimate psychopath.
Dr Jekyll was such an unassuming man/. Deep within he wanted to be Mr Hyde. Didn't understand the consequences of taking the stuff! Yes a timeless classic/always relevant.

I very much enjoyed it. I had trouble reading on my own so I went looking for the audio and came across your video and with my teachers summary I was able to pause each time and truly absorb the situation, the difficulty jeckyll was facing. His belief that two entities exist within one, good and bad. He dreamt of tearing the two apart pleasing both sides but sparing only one (the better half jeckyll) from judgement of society. What started out as an adventure to escape the ties and responsiblity of Dr. Jeckyll quickly turns into a suicidal nightmare as Mr. Hyde spiral's out of control. One could easily compare it too a drug addiction, and with each dose Mr. Hyde grew stronger and was able too, at will, leave the confines of his own prison inside Dr. Jeckyll. In books such as Dracula the monster is killed and society is saved. But what happens when the monster is inside of us? In the end good and evil were only one in the same; unsure of how to resolve the situation Dr. Jeckyll took his own life to slay the monster within.
SkyBlue I am in the same situation right now. I am taking my exams this year and my English teacher wanted my class to re-read Jekyll And Hyde. I’ve tried to read it in my own but my mind is very active so it’s hard for me to concentrate on reading the book. Listening to this audiobook and reading at the same time really helped me to concentrate better and now I can finish the book faster. Your comparative with the drug addiction is a really good point too and I totally agree
@@stephywesp be careful though because it was Hyde who killed himself not Jekyll. Otherwise he'd have been hanged. Jekyll disappears because without the drug, Hyde has taken over and he can't get the ingredients for the drug (the salt is no longer available because it was impure). Also.... Jekyll is Not the "better half"!! Jekyll invented Hyde because he wanted a consciousness, Guilt free existence where he could act out his disgusting fantasies without experiencing any of the consequences. In short, Jekyll is a psychopath. Hyde is USED by Jekyll, that's why Jekyll calls him "my benefactor in his will. Hyde is, legally speaking, the equivalent of a hit man hired by Jekyll.

I’ve read Stevenson’s classic tales more than a dozen times- such a great read. I love this audiobook; the narrator’s voice is superb and his precise pronunciation of each word is powerfully skillful. I have been enchanted with this audiobook. Tremendous!
This was amazing. Like most people, I've known of this story most of my life; I've just never taken the time to read or listen to the book. What an amazing study of the duality of man. What blows me away the most is the author's use of the English language. It truly is a thing of beauty.
wtf anything faster than 1.0x feels too fast. i rather like his slow pace. it allows me to take notes and look away and make predictions and comprehend the language all simultaneously
It’s an incredibly intricate and sly description of addiction. Not to the drug the doctor took but to the freeing feeling of being Hyde. Even the doctors summation in the end sounds like someone coming to terms of what has happened and what drove them to it.
mru76, funny I was thinking more along the lines of what Psychopaths endure. The feeling that a part if you may be evil and what would it feel like to embrace that feeling?
@@rosesmith6925 I guess the moral of the story is a lot of people have thoughts and envys but don't act on them/Dr Jekyll took something hence the classic story! Would hate to think there are psychopaths out there who make a decision/but who knows how they think.
Yes. My favorite short story of all. Did you ever think that Utterson thought Mr. Hyde was a gay lover taking advantage of Dr. Jekyll? When I first read this as a teenager back in the 90's, that was honestly what I thought.

Thank you for this! I needed to read this for a college class but I have a hard time focusing while reading so I would just turn this on, crank it to 1.5 speed and read along with it. REALLY helped me to read quickly and absorb everything.
I’ve got to read a lot of classic horror for my monster class and honestly this channel and others like it have helped me do it while also taking care of other things around the house! Plus audiobooks are just so calming. Thank you for uploading
This was one of the first classic literature books I had ever read which led me down a rabbit hole of Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights ah what a time to be in during these books first publishings. I bet these books blew the minds of many.
Considering Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and (to some extent) Pride and Prejudice were all deviations to polite society. In their own ways, each novel rebelled against the upper crust of Regency and Victorian England. Readers were very bewildered at Wuthering Heights in particular. Many called it savage and depraved. In our time, the subject matters of these books are quite common place. Truly different times entirely.
Over the years I have watched , or listened to , various film , TV , and radio adaptations of this story , but none of them come even close to a true representation of this wonderfully nuanced , and beautifully written , tale .
Thus is such a brilliant book! I listened to this while following the book and got through it in about 2hrs and 30mins by putting it at 1.5x the speed.
At first I didn't enjoy the book but as I read more, I fell in love with it! I'm soon going to be working on a essay for this book, I'm so happy my teacher introduced me to this book! :D I absolutely love this audiobook recording!
This was SOOO good!!! Thank you so much to the author of this amazing literature piece and also to the man who read it. I really enjoyed my time. Hope you have a great day❤
A very special and utterly relaxing voice, with its slow cadance and just a tad lower pitch than average (if I say that right), I like listening to this voice actor very much and I want to thank him for making this recording of his maybe as far as I and concerned best reading of this famous book of all I know. Thank You!
Everyone complaining abt reading this story for school but I was bummed because we DIDN'T read it. I'm autistic and this story is my current special interest. I keep trying to fall asleep to this recording but I get too excited about the story. Writing this comment at 1:45 AM on a work night lol
I'm so glad I found this! I've been wanting to read this book for years but opportunity and ability are fleeting. I got to listen while I worked! I love the sound of the narrator's voice. So smooth.
I am because of we. I found this audiobook because it's October/autumn & it's that spooky time of year, the narrator was so incredible I paused it, ordered the book received it today & am following along by candlelight- life is astonishing, thank you
Henry Jekyll: AAAHHH what do you think you're doing Hyde? Edward Hyde: You Hyde Me Jekyll Jekyll: AAAAHHHHH *He dodges the pencil as his pillow is half erased and part of his house is erased as Hyde chases him with The Magic Pencil*

Jamie Carr yup got 3 days
Ending monolog by Dr Jekyll explaining himself, his mind, and Mr. Hyde...is simply EPIC!!!
I was looking for a comment about it! It is incredible
Meh
Speaking from personal experience, I have often found that the similarities of this story with the struggles of drug addiction are uncanny.
astute observation
Oh shoot, I never thought of it this way. The intentional isolation from friends/people, the loss of interest in the things you used to enjoy… thank you for this!
@@sweetestaphrodite Jekyll even develops a tolerance! He discovers that he isn't affected by the drug anymore, so he takes a double dose.
It is written in the big book of alcoholics anonymous
For me as well that very much is history of man addicted to drugs.
Dr Jackyll first take drug to change to mr Hyde, but later on he need drug only to go back to normal. And he needs more and more of it. Untill it kills him.
Mr Hyde is small and weak, but do lot of damage. Dr Jakyll is tall and strong, and he fixes damage done by mr Hyde.
Mr Hyde doesn't control him self. Unless he need drug. Then sudenly he control him self and become smarter than dr Jackyll had ever been. And uses friends of dr Jakyll to get a drug. And making dr Jakyll losing friends in process.
Mr Hyde does things that dr Jakyll will never do, but secertly desire.
The only thing that maybe is symbolic is change of a body shape and face. But even that is not necessary symbolic.

This was one of the first classic literature books I had ever read which led me down a rabbit hole of Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights ah what a time to be in during these books first publishings. I bet these books blew the minds of many.
Considering Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and (to some extent) Pride and Prejudice were all deviations to polite society. In their own ways, each novel rebelled against the upper crust of Regency and Victorian England. Readers were very bewildered at Wuthering Heights in particular. Many called it savage and depraved. In our time, the subject matters of these books are quite common place. Truly different times entirely.

Over the years I have watched , or listened to , various film , TV , and radio adaptations of this story , but none of them come even close to a true representation of this wonderfully nuanced , and beautifully written , tale .
I am too lazy to read the book , this was so helpful and easy to follow . Thank You
do something productive in your sad little life
how could one not like this
I mean what did you expect.
Exactly
Thus is such a brilliant book! I listened to this while following the book and got through it in about 2hrs and 30mins by putting it at 1.5x the speed.
I've put it in 2x!
Listened to this for fun, LIKE A CHAMP!
Why else would you listen to it?
School, I guess.
yep school

At first I didn't enjoy the book but as I read more, I fell in love with it! I'm soon going to be working on a essay for this book, I'm so happy my teacher introduced me to this book! :D I absolutely love this audiobook recording!
I'm reading / listening to this for my own wee book-group with pals. "The Edgar Allan Hoes" 😂📚. Thanks for sharing this recording 👍🏻
Bro I hope this is in my future 😭 I wanna have a cute book-group with friends so mf bad
@@sweetestaphrodite - it's really good we started in Jan 2021. Just start one with 1 or 2 friends and folk can join slowly, that's what we did.
i like this reading, even at 1.5 speed it's still nice to listen to
This was SOOO good!!!
Thank you so much to the author of this amazing literature piece and also to the man who read it. I really enjoyed my time.
Hope you have a great day❤
I really like your Voice.... Thank you very much for your Work.... I truly appreciate it.... 📖🕯️☕🌟
A very special and utterly relaxing voice, with its slow cadance and just a tad lower pitch than average (if I say that right), I like listening to this voice actor very much and I want to thank him for making this recording of his maybe as far as I and concerned best reading of this famous book of all I know. Thank You!
This page is truly delightful. As a writer, I derive great pleasure from immersing myself in the world of audiobooks. Thank you for this
What do you write? I feel you are excellent!

شكرا جزيلا لقد قرأتها كلها في ثلاث ساعات. ثلاث ساعات من المتعة و الخوف و الترقب و الحزن...شكرا جزيلا
I normally don't like audiobooks but this was fantastic! Thank you so much for your hard work, this made me love the story even more.
thank you so much for uploading this audio!
I’ve got an exam tomorrow on this forgot to revise so sleeping to this 😂 wish me luck
Lilly-mae Lawton well, how was your exam then?
Elettra Del Pin Hahahaha don’t wanna talk about it 😂😂😂
This is perfect with a few hand rolled cigarettes and some coffee
if I listen while I sleep does that count as reading the book?
No, not at all. Subliminal learning is just a myth. You actually have to pay attention
have to read this for my GCSEs
Everyone complaining abt reading this story for school but I was bummed because we DIDN'T read it. I'm autistic and this story is my current special interest. I keep trying to fall asleep to this recording but I get too excited about the story. Writing this comment at 1:45 AM on a work night lol
I have to write this for my 10page senior paper and WOW this helped soooo much.Thank you👌👍😀
Very good. But I find it even better on 1.25 speed.
Audiobook because the public library closed. I think I'm gonna be up all night this is so exciting!!
I’ve felt without culture for not having read the classics. Thus, I looked this up and listened in a sort of sanitized joy.
Mr Hyde in the pic looks like Boris Johnson :)
Is that an original book jacket? The picture of a lighthouse for guidance, is heartfelt!
If it wasn’t for a lighthouse where would this vessel be in the turmoil? Shattered on the rocks! You must look and SEE that light!
i used this for my book report thanks
I'm so glad I found this! I've been wanting to read this book for years but opportunity and ability are fleeting. I got to listen while I worked! I love the sound of the narrator's voice. So smooth.
i don’t have any braincells so reading books with older grammar and vocabulary is too much work but i got someone else to read it so i get it
@Justin Rodriguez the wording is too hard to understand while reading it so audiobook makes more sense
I recommend “Treasure Island “ as well. Great book 📖
BRO THIS SAVED ME TYSM. I have to do a reading journal on the first 51 pages of the book but I left my book at school. THis audio book saved me!
Flippin English class. Thanks for making me go through this book faster.
Beautifully read, greatly enjoyed. Thank you!
So funny people complianing about reading this when they aren't even reading
@Carter Pease I like to read if i enjoy reading it. My logic atleast
This is such a powerful story! It can really be read as a lot of things
Wonderful! Thanks a lot! It helped me to read the short story with pleasure!
You have a very beautiful voice!
Thank you so much! I needed to read the whole book for college so I decided to read and listen to the book thanks 😊
We have to read the whole book in my 8th grade class
+Once Upon A Wholock in a You guys are so lucky. It was 12th night for us.
Such a treat to read! And such beautifully elegant language!
I am because of we. I found this audiobook because it's October/autumn & it's that spooky time of year, the narrator was so incredible I paused it, ordered the book received it today & am following along by candlelight- life is astonishing, thank you
Great story, and an excellent reading performance. Thank you!
Henry Jekyll: AAAHHH what do you think you're doing Hyde?
Edward Hyde: You Hyde Me Jekyll
Jekyll: AAAAHHHHH
*He dodges the pencil as his pillow is half erased and part of his house is erased as Hyde chases him with The Magic Pencil*
Sure that isnt Spongebob? Lol

That was great. Thank you!

Great story,! If you like this I highly recommend The Picture of Dorian Gray.
this has helped me a lot with my book project, im a very unmotivated reader and this kept me on track and going.
listening to this the day before my report
Hope it went well!
This was 10 months ago but I’m still wishing you all the greatest luck w everything you do!!

Every October I read a work of literature that's Halloween-related. This year it's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
