Description

Stevenson’s travelogue of the South Pacific: islands, people, and cultures observed in three parts of vivid journey prose. Practical listening for anyone who wants the sea routes and human detail without a tourist brochure. Spoken as when a writer’s health voyage becomes a clear-eyed record of other lives under strange stars.

Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) gave adventure its modern bounce and the double life its household name. He was an Edinburgh lawyer's son who would not stay still: tuberculosis, canoes, Pacific islands, and sentences that never limp. Treasure Island taught boys (and everyone else) how a story should turn; Jekyll and Hyde taught adults how a conscience can. The essays are as alive as the yarns.
