Prince Otto
Prince Otto – Robert Louis Stevenson Stevenson’s second longer work of fiction is the greatest imaginable jump from the buccaneering story of Treasure Island with which he first came before a large public. Prince Otto is difficult to classify; it is not, as R. L. S. wrote, ‚ a romance, nor yet a comedy, nor […]
New Arabian Nights
New Arabian Nights – Robert Louis Stevenson Stevenson’s title for these tales of imagination clearly shows what he intended their character to be. Plainly they were not meant to be realistic. Their stilted, artificial style is out of keeping with such an object. They were evidently to be stories which are entertaining in the same […]
The Dynamiter
The Dynamiter – Robert Louis Stevenson The only book of Stevenson’s written in collaboration with his wife, to whose powers of invention and descriptive writing the greater part of it is due. It had its origin at the time of his slow and perilous recovery from the nearly fatal illness at Hyeres in the spring […]
The Merry Men and other Tales and Fables
The Merry Men and other Tales and Fables – Robert Louis Stevenson A story which shows Stevenson’s powder of vividly descriptive writing at perhaps its highest level, but one which, as a story, has been variously criticized. It was written in the Highlands in 1881, the year after his marriage, as one of a series […]

Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin
Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin – Robert Louis Stevenson Fleeming Jenkin, noted for his work in engineering and applied electricity, was one of R. L. S.’s closest friends in his early days. When Jenkin, then thirty-five, became Professor of Engineering in Edinburgh University, Stevenson, much against all his inclinations, was professedly studying to qualify himself for […]
The Master of Ballantrae
The Master of Ballantrae – Robert Louis Stevenson In his romance „The Master of Ballantrae“ Stevenson has touched high-water mark. One is tempted to go beyond this and say that no modern work of fiction in the English language rises higher in the scale of literary merit than this. It is a story of human […]
The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson
The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson – Robert Louis Stevenson This edition contains Stevenson’s letters, beginning with his student days at Edinburgh to the four years he spent in Samoa. R.L.S. was a prolific mail writer and sent letters to all kind of people from towns like Paris, San Francisco, Marseilles, Bournemouth and many more. […]
Kidnapped
Kidnapped – Robert Louis Stevenson In writing this, his third, book for boys, Stevenson turned from scenes and characters of pure invention to real people and places of a minor incident of Scottish history. The Appin murder, which provides the turning point of the story, has thereby become known to thousands who had not before […]
Island Nights‘ Entertainments
Island Nights‘ Entertainments – Robert Louis Stevenson The title of the volume which includes The Beach of Falesa, The Bottle Imp, and The Isle of Voices. The ‚Beach‘ turns on the native dread of the spirit-devils in the woods, interwoven with which is the island life of natives and whites viewed through the eyes of […]
