Böcker av Robert Louis Stevenson

Aus dem Buch: "Der Stallmeister war ein junger Offizier, mutig bis zur Verwegenheit. Der Auftrag erfüllte ihn mit Vergnügen, und eiligst machte er alles bereit. Infolge langer Übung und mannigfaltiger Lebenserfahrung hatte sich sein angeborenes schauspielerisches Talent noch mehr entwickelt, so daß er nicht nur in Gebärden und Haltung, sondern auch in der Stimme und fast auch in seinen Gedanken jede Gesellschaftsklasse, jeden Charakter und jede Nation darstellen konnte; dadurch lenkte er die Aufmerksamkeit von seinem fürstlichen Begleiter auf sich, und es gelang dem Paar, manchmal zu ganz absonderlichen Gesellschaften Zutritt zu erhalten." Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) war ein schottischer Schriftsteller des viktorianischen Zeitalters.

Kidnapped is a historical adventure novel set around 18th-century Scottish events, notably the Appin Murder, which occurred near Ballachulish in the aftermath of the Jacobite Rising. Many of the characters, and one of the principals, Alan Breck Stewart, were real people.

It must not be imagined that a walking tour, as some would have us fancy, is merely a better or worse way of seeing the country. There are many ways of seeing landscape quite as good; and none more vivid, in spite of canting dilettanti, than from a railway train. But landscape on a walking tour is quite accessory. He who is indeed of the brotherhood does not voyage in quest of the picturesque, but of certain jolly humours-of the hope and spirit with which the march begins at morning, and the peace and spiritual repletion of the evening's rest.

This is the story of Stevenson's Pacific travels on the Casco and the Equator. It is a beautifully observed account of island peoples and their life; it is also the story of the beginning of his love affair with the Pacific, and of his growing commitment to the island cause. In the South Seas has been described as "the most solid of Stevenson's general writings;" it is certainly his least known book as well as a unique gem of Pacific literature, and richly deserves to be rediscovered.
