Autorenporträt
The Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) is best remembered today for such classics as TREASURE ISLAND, STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, KIDNAPPED, and A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES. In addition to these well-known works, he was widely considered one of the nineteenth century's leading essayists. Suffering from chronic pulmonary illness, Stevenson's search for health and adventure led him to live in England, France, Switzerland, New York's Adirondacks, California, Hawaii, and Samoa, where he died at age 44.
