Robert Stevenson: 1201 books

Entrato ormai a far parte dell’iconografia popolare, Lo strano caso del Dr. Jekyll e Mr. Hyde, oltre a essere una esplicita metafora della eterna lotta tra il bene e il male, è soprattutto un attacco che Stevenson ha voluto sferrare contro la repressiva e puritana letteratura inglese del periodo...

Presentiamo qui, in una nuova traduzione di Luisa Pecchi, l’ultimo romanzo di Stevenson rimasto incompiuto a causa dell’improvvisa morte, considerato da molti il suo migliore: e la versione che ci è arrivata era solo una “prima” stesura. Narra una tragica storia d’amore e di lotte famigliari,...

Written in 1886, Kidnapped is an adventure novel set in Scotland in the mid-1700s, not long after the Jacobite rebellion in the Highlands which had attempted to set Bonnie Prince Charlie on the throne.

Stevenson’s final novel, Weir of Hermiston was left incomplete at his death in 1894.  Published in 1896, the story is set in Edinburgh and the Lothians against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.  Despite its unfinished status, the story of the young laird Archie Weir and his struggle to break free of his tyrannical father's influence is considered Stevenson's masterpiece.

Very, very interesting and unexpected. Most people know Stevenson only as the writer of 'Treasure Island' and 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', but as the page on this website shows, he was a prolific writer who had many other books to his credit.

Originally published in 1887, this is a moving and perceptive collection of Stevenson’s memories of his youth and portraits of people he had known, sometimes loved, and lost.  Inevitably, these wonderful reminiscences offer a wealth of insight into Stevenson’s own personality, character, and opinions.

This edition of Treasure Island has been specially formatted for today's e-readers. The original story grew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew. The tale is told by an adventurous boy, Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of a treasure...
