Autoren-Porträt von Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a towering figure in Victorian literature, known for his vivid imagination and masterful storytelling. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson's exploration of moral complexity and his penchant for adventure both reflected his literary works and his personal life. Trained as a lawyer, Stevenson instead pursued writing, traveling widely and often writing about his journeys. His health, however, was a constant battle, and his wanderlust was partially a search for climates conducive to his wellbeing. Stevenson wrote 'The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses' (1888) amidst this backdrop, a historical adventure novel set during the War of the Roses, evidence of his interest in history and ability to create gripping narratives. His literary style often threaded psychological depth within his characters and a gothic atmosphere, traits notably seen in 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (1886) and 'Treasure Island' (1883), which immortalized him as a beloved storyteller. Stevenson's impact on literature remains enduring, with his works continuing to captivate readers and inspire writers for their robust adventure, complex characters, and evocative settings.
