ISBN: 978-1-906263-28-7

Everyone has a dark side. Dr Jekyll has discovered the ultimate
drug. A chemical that can turn him into something else. Suddenly,
he can unleash his deepest cruelties in the guise of the sinister
Hyde. Transforming himself at will, he roams the streets of fog-
bound London as his monstrous alter-ego. It seems he is master of
his fate. It seems he is in complete control. But soon he will
discover that his double life comes at a hideous price ...

Thank god, every other version on UA-cam sounded like the narrator was being forced to read this book at gunpoint
Heh heh heh 😂
that's because it's a shitty novella
The words "about as emotional as a bagpipe" had me reeling.
I read this book a few years ago and found it challenging. I had to look up words and re-read paragraphs. Now I’m coming back to it again, after reading several classics this year, and it reads easy like a normal book 🙂 So if anyone thinks they can’t read classics, Keep trying and it will get easier
Think of it as an allegory of addiction.
I'm pretty late, but what other classics did you read to get the hang of it?
Christopher Lee, Dracula himself is reading Jekyll and Hyde. A match made in horror heaven.
he read several others as well including dracula and frankestien as well as most of edgar allen poes works all found here on youtube
He himself played in 2 adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde
Audiobooks are great, but only when the narrator is good. Christopher Lee is the master in this regard. Perfection!
"Hyde would be not even conscious of what he had lost". It's suicide, Jekyll gives up friends and love to avoid guilt and secrecy. Two months of doubling down on repression. And then he gives in. It's fascinating.
Never thought I'd be listening to count dooku reading Jekyll & Hyde at midnight but here I am
Lee himself was in 2 adaptations of Jekyll and Hyde. He played the title roles in "I, Monster" (1971)
Wow, I got goosebumps the moment I realized who's narrating this.
I was listening to this, while reading along on project gutenburg, to help improve my English. I was getting confused on why it kept skipping lines, it took me a while to notice, this was the abridged version. Should have checked the description. But it was nice listen to.
Beautifully read by Christopher Lee. I can just imagine Robert Louis Stevenson writing this in the bedroom of his house in Bournemouth and the reading it to his wife, Fanny.
Christopher Lee's reading of this classic novel displays his honed talent of acting.🦇

Thx
Thank you kindly my fellow gentleman
WHAT??? IM LISTENING TO THE ABRIDGED VERSION???
Thank you so much man
@@ronster. LOLLLLL Ur comment made me realize I'm doing the same thing ☠I feel that rn
It's such a fine line between a good man and a bad.
This classic masterpiece is marvellously performed.
My first thought at hearing cristopher Lee was “I’ve been looking forward to this. “ when Cristopher Lee played count Dooku in Star Wars.
I don’t know why but Hyde being described as a “little man” always makes me laugh
he’s a manlet
Christopher Lee is the perfect reader for this very entertaining story, worth listening to, Lee uses dozens of voices in reading this story, He has the pipes!
Christopher Lee's acting chops and beautiful voice more then made up for the "abridged-ness".
Do you have any idea how heavily abridged this version is? Will I miss anything important?
@@efoxkitsune9493 It is not heavily, maybe 10% or a little more is 'lost'. It is a really short book, why not read it? :D
@@maraxussrafhael Hi, well for one, I really wanted to hear it narrated in Christopher Lee's voice haha (which is what I ended up doing then, and it was awesome), and the main reason I didn't just read it is pretty simple: at the time I wrote that comment 8 months ago, I was studying for my BA finals (not sure where you're from, but in my country, there's a huge oral exam to sum up those entire 3 years of study). For its main part, I had to learn about around 150-200 books, ideally read all of them, so I was trying to read as many as I could in a really short time-span. Imagine you spend all day studying (= reading from books or, more frequently, from the computer monitor), morning to night, every day, for weeks... your eyes and your brain get really tired. So that's when audiobooks came to the rescue, haha. Whenever I needed to take a break from the constant reading/studying, I would put on an audiobook, which allowed me to simultaneously relax and keep learning, in a way. So short audiobooks were a blessing. It was intense but I found this system to work pretty well for me. I just did not have the capacity to physically read everything.
Btw, in case you're interested to know, I ended up passing the exams :)
@@efoxkitsune9493 I was going to start my previous comment with 'I do not know if it is for a test, but...', haha so my first guess was correct. I 'run' a book club and I read this one in portuguese and in english and now I am listening to it, that is why I told you it is not THAT abridged, at least I could not notcie any change. Concerning the test, I am really glad that you passed, I wish you all the best, for you and your family. God Bless!
@@maraxussrafhael Thank you! Hope you have a nice day :)
Edit: And the book is great, btw!
Listening to a chapter before bed since I have promised myself considering this is my last year of high school I should put in effort
"The full, abridged audio version" - which is it - full or abridged?? Feel like we're getting played here.
Reading this for school
same
To quote an old friend's exhuberent decree of gladness... "CAPITAL!".
Makes sense Christopher Lee should be narrating this story, since he played the Jekyll/Hyde character in _I, Monster._ Great movie. Great actor. 👍
He also was in Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll
@@ivans.191 That he was.
Who else is listening to this bec they have too read it for school and its due the next day and didn't read it during the holidays
me lmao
Very agreable, I love Lee’s reading.
I would love to see more audio books posted
ive been collecting my favorites into playlist when i find them, try looking for his name and audiobook or the book you are looking for followed by audiobook, or simply audiobook i have found around 100 audiobooks i will be listening to soon
is there : 'treasure island' read by Christopher lee? that would be effing awesome
what an absolutely amazing story this is, when read by the master. I enjoyed every second of it.
From the author of "Treasure Island."
this is really really good thank you 😭, im reading this for my english class and i really love the narrators voice
It’s cristopher Lee
I love it too. Nothing wrong with that, millions around the world do lol
My teacher is using this😂
Mr Chadwick, the best teacher
Thank you! I remember this from years ago - great story and great narration!
sussy short king edward hyde
that’s crazy
how did this comment get 9 thumbs up clicks? the last word makes sense in the video context, but the rest is nonsense.
@@Boogie_the_cat it’s internet slang lol
Realllll
Primitive and prehuman too.
Such a pity that it’s the abridged version.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you
Excellent production. Love the music too!
He meddled in things that man should best leave alone!
4:47
So proper!
Just saving my place for my English homework - 39:00
Love the music
If he be mr hyde I’ll be mr seek
✍🏻🔥🔥
What a shame that he edited out all the tiny details. He has a nice voice but this is not unabridged.
it doesnt say unabridged anywhere
It says it’s abridged
tbh i was following along with an unabridged version of the text and this was very close, they just took out mid sentence fluff. things like run on figurative language, mostly allusions or added description. it’s not too far off :)
1:54:30
did anyone think that allice coopers son no more mister nice guy is sort of like jekyll and hyde ?
Does Lee play all the characters voices?
Yep
1:56:09
You're welcome

My cheeks be shaking am tired so tired
surely "full" and "abridged" audio version are antonyms?
Misteries.

Love this 😍
What does " Full abridged audio version..." mean?
I Think it means, ‘a full reading of the chopped up version of the story (aka the abridged version)’ -badly worded in my opinion-
Unabridged is non-dramatized, a plainly read versjon of the original text. So i can only guess that this is a full reading, but dramatized, since most dramatized versions are shorter, with more drama and less text. The best answer would probably be found in a Wikipedia article...
@@elvenkind6072 No, unabridged means that it is the complete text, no cuts. I suppose 'full abridged' means that the recording does not present the complete text, but that this posting presents the complete recording.
The full abridged?!
😢

Those Sunday walks describe perfectly my meetings with my father!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I would like to say I keep listening after he said the f slur 1:56:10 but my brain melted
same, I had to take a pause and ask if he actually said it, then i read the book and saw it lol
It means “a bundle of sticks” in this context, not the slur. The word also refers to cigarettes in the UK.
different meaning in this context and age
how do you people not know that it literally means entirely different things back then 😭
00:39
Was he a herion addict?
No 😭😭
How can something be both 'full' and 'abridged'?
All chapters of abridged version in one video.
@@user-ct3fn9zc9m Your comment is indeed a testament to your channel's title. Your comment is mere irrelevant gibberish.
@@user-ct3fn9zc9m Your comment, though irrelevant, is indeed a testament, to this channel's title.
nice
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Abridged, unfortunately.
what can i say bravo! bravo! great video very very good it gets a 10 out of 10 for me
ALMOST pronounced Jekyll right... ill keep looking
That's the way a native English speaker pronounces it.
@@Pommy1957 good! keep ignorance alive. im proud ov you!
@@nunyanunya4147 how would you pronounce it?
@@rondaniels4803 the way the author said it should be pronounced.... you have access to the same google machine i do. do research. enlightenment comes from self discovery.
@@nunyanunya4147 Ugh, are you one of THOSE people...
"Hurkadurr, I know the answer, but lrn to googul, noob."
Lee speaks too quickly.
