Über den Autor

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a distinguished Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer known for his vivid storytelling and adventurous tales. Born in Edinburgh, Stevenson came from a family of lighthouse engineers, but health issues marred his childhood, leading to lifelong respiratory ailment. Despite these challenges, he pursued his passion for literature. He studied law at Edinburgh University but primarily viewed the legal profession as a fallback, for his heart was set on writing. Stevenson's literary style captivated readers with its rich characterization, evocative settings, and a skillful blend of romance and realism. His works, such as 'Treasure Island' (1883), 'Kidnapped' (1886), 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (1886), and 'The Master of Ballantrae' (1889), exhibit the narrative finesse that made him internationally celebrated. 'The Pocket R.L.S.: Being Favourite Passages from the Works of Stevenson' is a compilation that showcases the breadth of his oeuvre, reflecting his versatility and depth across genres. This anthology allows readers to experience the quintessence of Stevenson's artistry and his philosophy on life and writing. Stevenson's contribution to literature extends beyond his narratives; his essays and travel writings also capture his perceptive observations and existential ponderings. Despite his relatively short life, Stevenson left a profound legacy, influencing generations of writers and readers with his imaginative prowess and lyrical prose.
