Product Description
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer, whose reputation came primarily from his novels and essays, including "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". He is ranked among the 30 most translated authors in the world, ahead of Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe. Although his notoriety derives largely from his novels and essays, Stevenson produced a large collection of poetry that has been compared to that of William Ernest Henley and Rudyard Kipling. The principle object of most of his poetry is to capture a moment, be it a memory, an emotion, or some fleeting experience, and to draw his readers wholly into that moment. This is a complete collection of Stevenson's poetry, most of which deals with themes of childhood, friendship, travel, nostalgia and the sea, and includes his well-known "Underwoods" series.
Customer Reviews
I once read several short poems by R L Stevenson when I was in my teens. Of these I read, I can only remember :" Home is the sailor home from the sea, and the hunter home from the hill " ...To me right now, this poem is still very emotional and philosophical.I like his shorter poems because his expressions are more crystallized and can give strongest punches on some expressions expressed only in a word or two.Moreover, I can learn something from his short peoms when I'm doing my poetry writing.This is great.
