Description
This dark psychological fantasy is more than a moral tale. It is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution and criminality and the secret lives behind Victorian propriety, to create a unique form of urban Gothic.

The literary world was shocked when in 1889, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle in Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he used his new environment to produce critical treatments of imperialism. This volume presents a selection of his Pacific fiction.

An irresistible invitation to reject the work ethic and enjoy life's simple pleasures (such as laughing, drinking and lying in the open air), Robert Louis Stevenson's witty and seminal essay on the joys of idleness is accompanied by his writings on, among other things, growing old and the overwhelming experience of falling in love.
