The Wrecker: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Classics Texts

Autor Robert Louis Stevenson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2009
Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish essayist, poet, novelist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Kidnapped, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Treasure Island. Stevenson in collaboration with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne has written this adventure novel. The Wrecker is full of exciting incidents, quick action and vivid characters. The setting is modern and shifts from land to sea. The main story begins in San Francisco with the purchase of a wrecked ship, flying sand, and the new owners' voyage in search of treasure. Instead of the joy of finding treasure there is a horrible tragedy. Clues in a stamp collection will help track down the missing crew and solve the mystery.

Notă biografică

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in 1850 in Edinburgh, the son of an engineer. He briefly studied engineering, then law, and contributed to university magazines while a student. Despite life-long poor health, he was an enthusiastic traveller, writing about European travels in the late 1870s and marrying in America in 1879. He contributed to various periodicals, writing first essays and later fiction. His first novel was Treasure Island in 1883, intended for his stepson, who collaborated with Stevenson on two later novels. Some of Stevenson's subsequent novels are insubstantial popular romances, but others possess a deepening psychological intensity. He also wrote a handful of plays in collaboration with W.E. Henley. In 1888, he left England for his health, and never returned, eventually settling in Samoa after travelling in the Pacific islands. His time here was one of relatively good health and considerable writing, as well as of deepening concern for the Polynesian islanders under European exploitation, expressed in fictional and factual writing from his final years, some of which was so contrary to contemporary culture that a full text remained unavailable until well after Stevenson's death. R. L. Stevenson died of a brain haemorrhage in 1894.
