Sobre l'autor
Robert Louis Stevenson, born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, was a literary luminary whose adventurous spirit and vivid imagination left an indelible mark on the world of literature. Despite battling chronic health issues throughout his life, Stevenson's prolific output includes timeless classics such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde." His works are celebrated for their masterful storytelling, complex characters, and exploration of the duality of human nature.Stevenson's life was as adventurous as his fiction. He traveled extensively, seeking climates that would alleviate his ailments, and these journeys profoundly influenced his writing. His time in the South Pacific, particularly in Samoa, where he spent his final years, imbued his later works with a rich cultural tapestry and a deep appreciation for indigenous traditions.Notably, Stevenson's personal life and relationships were often subjects of intrigue. His marriage to Fanny Osbourne, an American divorcee ten years his senior, defied Victorian social norms and showcased his progressive views on love and companionship. His friendships with contemporary writers like Henry James and his influence on later authors, including Jorge Luis Borges and Vladimir Nabokov, underscore his lasting impact on the literary world.Stevenson's revolutionary ideas extended beyond literature; he was an outspoken critic of colonialism and advocated for the rights of native peoples in the Pacific. His legacy as a writer and humanist continues to inspire readers and writers alike, making him a timeless figure in the annals of literary history.
