pokkari
Scottish novelist, poet, and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a writer of power and originality, who penned such classics as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Weir of Hermiston . The editor has collected in convenient form Stevenson's short fiction, including the complete New Arabian Nights and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , as well as ghost stories, medieval romances, farces, horror stories, and the South Sea Tales. This volume amply illustrates Stephenson's wide range and enduring appeal.
Stevenson died at the age of 44, but despite such a short span he lived an incredibly active life during which he travelled widely and wrote a prodigious amount of fiction, essays and poetry. To browse through this Chronology is to follow in the footsteps of a man who was always on the move, always eager to journey onto the next place or to embark on a new literary project. J.R. Hammond, a lifelong student of Stevenson and author of A Robert Louis Stevenson Companion, offers a definitive chronology of RLS which takes account of the latest research into his life and times.

Most Mothers in 1963 didn't set out on a journey with their daughters through an impoverished section of France with little knowledge of the language. But Betty Gladstone did and ended up being the toast of Le Monastier, France, where she is remembered to this day. Fascinated by Robert Louis Stevenson from her childhood, Betty recreated Stevenson's one hundred thirty-five mile trek through the Cevennes Mountains in thirteen days. Accompanied by her two daughters and Modestine, a donkey named after Stevenson's beast of burden, they walked the author's original path and slept in barns and in small hotels with questionable facilities. Betty Gladstone's memoir, "Following Robert Louis Stevenson with a Donkey: Zigging and Zagging Through the Cevennes," is the tale of her improbable journey and the lifelong friends she made on the way. In an afterword, her younger daughter, who edited the book, chronicles the heart-warming aftermath in which Betty erected a monument to Robert Louis Stevenson in Le Monastier with a town-wide celebration that achieved international press coverage.

There are men and classes of men that stand above the common herd: the soldier, the sailor and the shepherd not unfrequently; the artist rarely; rarely still, the clergyman; the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower (such as it is) of our civilisation; and when that stage of man is done with, and only remembered to be marvelled at in history, he will be thought to have shared as little as any in the defects of the period, and most notably exhibited the virtues of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those who practise an art, never to those who drive a trade; discretion, tested by a hundred secrets; tact, tried in a thousand embarrassments; and what are more important, Heraclean cheerfulness and courage. So it is that he brings air and cheer into the sickroom, and often enough, though not so often as he wishes, brings healing.
