Description

|
|
|
The biographer of D.H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Walt Whitman here offers a fast-moving biography of literary gypsy Robert Louis Stevenson, a sickly child who grew up to leave behind his Scottish town, his family, his friends, and a literary career in London. "His feelings are always his reasons," said Henry James of the emotional Stevenson, illuminating the key to his popularity as a storyteller. Louis vividly depicts Stevenson as a man with a youthful, restless spirit, eager to explore, who fell in love with American divorcée Fanny Osbourne, followed her to California, and married her before embarking on a life of travel in the Pacific.
