Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) may have traveled more than the characters in some of his critically acclaimed and world renowned novels. Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and traveling writer who wore classics like Kidnapped and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson was so accomplished that he was a celebrity during his lifetime, and he left an influence on great writers who followed him, including Hemingway and Kipling. At the same time, his works are easy enough to read that they can be taught in classrooms across the world to teenagers.

Catriona (David Balfour) is the sequel to Kidnapped, and starts at the exact moment that Robert Louis Stevenson's more famous book ends - with Balfour in Edinburgh, standing cold and remorseful outside the offices of the British Linen Company. From there begins a rollicking series of adventures which sees our eponymous hero successively marooned on a remote island, traveling through Holland and France where he fights for his life with his old comrade Alan Breck, and finding time to fall in love with the spirited and beautiful Catriona, grand-daughter of the infamous 'Highland Rogue', Rob Roy.

Jekyll es un científico que crea una poción o bebida que tiene la cualidad de separar la parte más humana del lado más maléfico de una persona. Cuando Jekyll bebe esta mezcla se convierte en Edward Hyde, un criminal capaz de cualquier atrocidad. Según se cuenta en la novela, en nosotros siempre están el bien y el mal juntos, por eso Hyde, símbolo de todo lo perverso resulta repugnante a todo aquel que lo ve.

To equip so small a book with a preface is, I am half afraid, to sin against proportion. But a preface is more than an author can resist, for it is the reward of his labours. When the foundation stone is laid, the architect appears with his plans, and struts for an hour before the public eye. So with the writer in his preface: he may have never a word to say, but he must show himself for a moment in the portico, hat in hand, and with an urbane demeanour. It is best, in such circumstances, to represent a delicate shade of manner between humility and superiority: as if the book had been written by some one else, and you had merely run over it and inserted what was good. But for my part I have not yet learned the trick to that perfection; I am not yet able to dissemble the warmth of my sentiments towards a reader; and if I meet him on the threshold, it is to invite him in with country cordiality.

There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of any art. All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive their beauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shocked by the coarseness of the strings and pulleys. In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in æsthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature. This ignorance at least is largely irremediable. We shall never learn the affinities of beauty, for they lie too deep in nature and too far back in the mysterious history of man.

The Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin and Records of a Family of Engineers is a book written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is a biographical account of the life of Fleeming Jenkin, a Scottish engineer and inventor, as well as a record of his family's achievements in the field of engineering. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part being a memoir of Jenkin's life, from his childhood in Edinburgh to his career as a professor of engineering at the University of Edinburgh. The second part of the book is a collection of records and anecdotes about Jenkin's family, including his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, all of whom were prominent engineers and inventors. The book provides a fascinating insight into the world of engineering in Scotland during the 19th century, as well as the personal and professional life of one of its most accomplished practitioners.From the writer of Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, comes another classic adventure. Fleeming Jenkin was a delightful character, more remarkable than anything he ever did. He attracted Stevenson by his sterling quality of friendship and his brave attitude toward life, his outstanding moral value, and his untiring intellectual effort. It was good fortune to Fleeming Jenkin that Stevenson should have left us his portrait; it was to the credit of Stevenson that he knew so well the worth of the man. Stevenson came of a family of engineers, builders of lighthouses. In the Records he has left a fascinating record of a notable family, pursuing their romantic and heroic careers.

Tvorchestvo Stivensona mozhno nazvat' vozvratom k chistomu romantizmu. Ostaviv v storone social'nye problemy, avtor Ostrova sokrovishch izbral tu oblast' smeloj, voskhititel'no krasochnoj fantazii, gde vsyakij, kto molod dushoj, mozhet najti otvet na vse volnuyushchie ego voprosy. Social'nye zadachi smenyayutsya, no molodost' vsegda verna sebe; v ehtom zalog vechnogo uspekha Stivensona, ehtogo velikogo optimista, vsya zhizn' kotorogo proshla v geroicheskoj bor'be so smertel'noj bolezn'yu. Vo vsem ego raznoobraznom tvorchestve, v ego povestyah, skazkah, romanah zvuchit zhizneradostnyj prizyv k bodrosti, k otvazhnym priklyucheniyam; on lyubil starinu za velichavyj otzvuk bylyh podvigov i vel nas v stranu dalekogo proshlogo ili k zateryannym sredi okeana ostrovam, znakomil so vsemi chudesami zemnogo shara... Bezuprechnyj stilist i tonkij hudozhnik, on nikogda ne preryvaet svoego rasskaza otvlechennymi rassuzhdeniyami i blagodarya ehtomu vse vremya prikovyvaet vnimanie chitatelya k hodu razvertyvaemyh sobytij. Ot ego knigi nel'zya otorvat'sya, ne dochitav ee do konca. Stanovyas' povestvovatelem, on pochti stushevyvaet svoyu yarkuyu individual'nost', ob"edinyayushchij otpechatok kotoroj, tem ne menee, lezhit na vsekh ego proizvedeniyah. -Ostrov sokrovishch nachalsya pechataniem v ezhenedel'nom zhurnale YAng Folks, v 1881 godu. EHtot pervyj roman Stivensona, odin iz samyh uvlekatel'nyh, srazu proslavil avtora i sdelal izvestnym ego imya. Central'naya figura romana - Dzhon Sil'ver s licom, bol'shim kak okorok vetchiny, i s malen'kimi sverkayushchimi glazami, pohozhimi na oskolki stekla, - nastoyashchij korol' piratov. Iz namekov, iz legkih sluchajnyh shtrihov vyrastaet pered voobrazheniem chitatelya lichnost' ehtogo blagoobraznogo i bezzhalostnogo odnonogogo zlodeya. On perestaet byt' sozdaniem vymysla, on kak by zhivoj chelovek iz ploti i krovi, s kotorym my voshli v soprikosnovenie. Dzhon - zakorenelyj prestupnik, kotoromu net proshcheniya, no nam ne hotelos' by s nim rasstat'sya; my rady byli by prodolzhit' nashe prebyvanie na zagadochnom ostrove, gde spryatano nagrablennoe zoloto, ili uznat' eshche chto-nibud' o priklyucheniyah rodivshegosya pod schastlivoj zvezdoj Dzhima Hokinsa... -Interesna istoriya vozniknoveniya romana. Stivenson byl ochen' druzhen so svoim pasynkom, Llojdom Osbornom, togda eshche 13-letnim mal'chikom. U Llojda byla otdel'naya komnata, gde nahodilis' prinadlezhnosti dlya risovaniya, malen'kij tipografskij stanok, knigi; tam sostavlyalsya i vypuskalsya v svet shutlivyj domashnij zhurnal, sotrudnikami kotorogo byli vse chleny semejstva. Stivenson lyubil provodit' tam s mal'chikom celye chasy i sam veselilsya kak rebenok. Odnazhdy on nachertil i raskrasil kartu fantasticheskogo ostrova i nazval ego Ostrovom Sokrovishch. EHta shutka i natolknula ego na ideyu znamenitogo romana.
