Autor

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a prolific Scottish writer celebrated for his adventure novels, short stories, and poetry. Despite enduring chronic health problems throughout his life, Stevenson's literary output was extensive and has left an indelible mark on English literature. His works often explored the complexities of human nature and the struggle between good and evil, showcased in his famous novella 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' (1886). Notably, Stevenson's foray into poetry resulted in verses that captured the imaginations and hearts of readers, such as the collection 'A Child's Garden of Verses' (1885), which reflects his ability to see the world through the eyes of a child with simplicity and charm. Stevenson's literary style is characterized by vivid characterizations, vivid settings, and deftly drawn adventures that have made classics of titles like 'Treasure Island' (1883) and 'Kidnapped' (1886). His poetry, while perhaps less well-known than his prose, retains the same lyrical quality and adventure spirit that defines his more famous works. Stevenson led an adventurous life as well, which often provided rich material for his writing, as seen in his travel writings like 'In the South Seas' (1896).
