I'm glad I finally read the original story of the "Jekyll and Hyde" concept. It was different from what I expected, seeing as it was written from a more distant narrative, so to speak. As in, it was written from the perspective of the observers of the events, with only one chapter from the perspective of the main character.
I think I would've liked to see the journey Dr. Jekyll went through in more detail, I feel like one chapter was too small for all that.
The second story in this edition, called "The Bottle Imp" was a very peculiar and enjoyable story. It was a nice addition, in my opinion.

penso sarebbe stata un'esperienza di lettura migliore se non avessi saputo nulla al riguardo prima di iniziare il libro, ma sono comunque riuscito ad apprezzarlo abbastanza

For a classic it was pretty good. Not really my vibe but pretty good nevertheless. Just read it for the sake of having read it.

I had really high expectations of this book, if I went into this without knowing the premise, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy it way more. If you expect to get deep psychological dive into how 19th century England viewed schizophrenia or psychological fight against the evil that resides in every human being (like I did), maybe look further? Or just don't expect it from this. Only the last 20 pages describe Jekyll's thought process or feelings and we don't get quite as much as what I'd hoped for. The first 50 pages have different characters that just describe everything wrong with Jekyll. The book wasn't that bad, after some time I have to admit it was pretty okay, but I expected so much more and that's why I'm so disappointed. If you go into this with low expectations (and lots of patience for old English sentences that are 4 LINES LONG - I kid you not, I counted), you may really like it!
