Poemas
Pese a su mala salud, y a lo breve de su vida, Robert Louis Stevenson, dejó una amplia obra narrativa —en la que destacan obras maestras como «La isla del tesoro» y «Dr. Jekill y Mr. Hyde»— y ensayística, pero cultivó también en todo momento la poesía, sobresaliendo en sus poemas infantiles —«A Child’s Garden of Verses»—.

About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson
6,852 books6,950 followersRobert 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.
