About the author

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.

Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

Reviews

[Classic reverie · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far thus collection has great navigation but some typos. Overall it is worth it to me. I read and use beta here but review the story under the title.

More people should read RLS. I particularly enjoyed The Black Arrow for reasons in a more detailed review here

Helped quench my thirst for adventure and mystery/thrillers since forever.

Inland Voyage *** - it has its moments but my main thought having read it is why did he abandon his canoe just before reaching Paris?

JANET LA TORCIDA

Relato de terror muy corto y muy bueno
En un pequeño pueblo en Escocia, en una época dónde aún se creía en las brujas.
Soulis, un sacerdote habitante de ese pueblo, invita a Janet a trabajar con él en la iglesia, a pesar de que todos en ese la odian (ella pasa por algo traumante en su vida).
A todo esto, los habitantes del pueblo no están conformes y hacen algo al respecto. Y no puedo decir más porque ya sería spoiler y deben leer este relato, es en verdad muy bueno. En mi opinión Janet si estaba poseída, es un personaje icónico.

I just read this for the first time. I thought I knew the story but really, it's a bit different than I thought. It's told by Jekyll's attorney as he wonders what's going on with his friend and what the relationship is between Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll's perspective doesn't come until the end of the book. I was glad I listened to it, because the language is a bit difficult and it flows so much better when someone else reads it.

[Peter Talbot · Rating 5 out of 5]

Under-rated. Lesser known works actually quite "haunting". Reverence for and accurate reporting of the processes of nature are never done better in English to my knowledge.
