Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer, born in Edinburgh into a family of engineers.
Haunted much of his life by ill health, Stevenson roamed Europe, America, and the South Pacific, producing adventure classics such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and vivid travel narratives like Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.
In Samoa, where he settled in his later years, he embraced the local life and culture, earning the name Tusitala (“teller of tales”) before dying at age 44.
