Ty stavěli jeho otec i děd a mladý Robert Louis je měl v jejich díle následovat. Od svého snu stát se spisovatelem se však nenechal odradit a šel za ním se stejnou úporností jako dědeček Robert, který dokázal téměř nemožné – postavil maják na zrádném útesu Bell Rock omývaném vlnami, daleko od skotského pobřeží. Mořský živel u Stevensonavšak hrál důležitou roli, v jeho knihách i v jeho životě. Častokrát po moři cestoval a osud ho nakonec zavedl po mořských vlnách na ostrov Samoa, kde v roce 1894 v pouhých čtyřiačtyřiceti letech zemřel. Povídkový seriál Klub sebevrahů patří k Stevensonovým raným dílům a kromě tajemné atmosféry Londýna zaujme v českém prostředí nepochybně tím, že jedním z jeho protagonistů je lehkomyslný princ Florizel z Bohemie.

Audiokniha: Legendární příběh putování Jima Hawkinse za pokladem pirátů. Jenže Jim není jediný, kdo chce poklad získat. A ten někdo se neštítí absolutně ničeho! Klasický pirátský příběh pro děti a mládež s pokladem, zakopaným na neznámém ostrově byl mnohokrát zfilmován, upraven pro rozhlas i divadlo a motivy z něj se nacházejí i v dílech jiných autorů. Poprvé vyšel v roce 1883 a stal se nejpopulárnějším dílem svého autora. Příběh začíná v hostinci U admirála Benbowa, kde se ubytuje starý námořník Bill Bones, který záhy zemře. Při vyklízení jeho pokoje objeví syn hostinského Jim Hawkins v truhle mapu, na které je zakreslena cesta za tajuplným pokladem kapitána Flinta. Ukáže ji zemanovi Trelawneyovi a lékaři (a zároveň smírčímu soudci) Liveseyovi. Oba muži nadšeně zorganizují za pokladem námořní výpravu na lodi Hispaniola, které se Jim také zúčastní. Jenže Trelawney nedokáže i přes varování Liveseyho udržet jazyk za zuby a v přístavu, kde se snaží najít loď a posádku brzo všichni znají cíl jejich cesty. Proto není divu, že se zanedlouho objeví jednonohý Jim Silver, zvaný Dlouhán a Trelawney podlehne jeho výmluvnosti a najme ho jako lodního kuchaře. A na jeho doporučení také většinu posádky. Během plavby se z ní vyklube pirátská banda, které velí právě Jim Silver. Při doplutí na hledaný ostrov začne boj na život a na smrt mezi našimi hrdiny a piráty o získání tajemného pokladu. Vyhraje dobro, nebo zloduši? A jakou roli v příběhu sehraje Ben Gunn, který byl na ostrov vysazen před třemi lety?

The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the "split personality." Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll's harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one's own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.

In 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson was suffering from poor health, struggling to survive on the income derived from his writings, and tormented by his infatuation with Fanny Osbourne, a married American woman. His response was to embark on a journey through the Cevennes with a donkey, Modestine, and a notebook, which he later transformed into Travels with a Donkey. Just a few months after publication, Stevenson was off again - this time crossing the Atlantic and the breadth of America in the hope of being re-united with Fanny, an experience he recorded in The Amateur Emigrant. Both pieces are classics of travel writings, which reveal as much about Stevenson''s character as the landscape he travels through.

The literary world was shocked when in 1889, at the height of his career, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently on the Pacific island of Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he began to use the subject material offered by his new environment, not to promote a romance of empire, but to produce some of the most ironic and critical treatments of imperialism in nineteenth-century fiction. In these stories, as in his work generally, Stevenson shows himself to be a virtuoso of narrative styles: his Pacific fiction includes the domestic realism of `The Beach at Falesé, the folktale plots of `The Bottle Imp'' and `The Isle of Voices'', and the modernist blending of naturalism and symbolism in The Ebb-Tide. But beyond their generic diversity the stories are linked by their concern with representing the multiracial society of which their author had become a member. In this collection - the first to bring together all his shorter Pacific fiction in one volume - Stevenson emerges as a witness both to the cross- cultural encounters of nineteenth-century imperialism and to the creation of the global culture which characterizes the post-colonial world. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
