Robert Louis Stevenson

The Master of Ballantrae and Weir of Hermiston (eBook, ePUB)

With Weir of Hermiston

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"The Master of Ballantrae" takes a deep, disturbing turn after "Kidnapped and Catriona", with its tale of rival brothers caught in a web of hatred, obsession, love and betrayal which draws them to adventures in frozen wastes of North America. Stevenson's fascination with the divided nature of the human self, so famously demonstrated in "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", recurs in "Weir of Hermiston" with its awful father-son confrontation.

Autorenporträt

Robert Louis Stevenson was an atheist and free spirit. In Samoa - where he died - he fought in a civil war for independence. In 1886, the blockbuster novel Kidnapped was published - a dramatic adventure of abduction and life on the run in the wilds of Scotland. Stevenson died in 1894, just 44 years old. The Samoan natives, who were devoted to Stevenson, cut a track through the jungle to create a resting place for him on top of the mountain above his beloved Vailima estate.
