Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879), a pioneering classic of outdoor literature, is one of Robert Louis Stevenson's earliest published works. It gives an account of his 12 day, 200 kilometer hiking journey through the sparsely populated areas of the Cévennes mountains in south-central France. The Cévennes was the site of a Protestant rebellion around 1702, which was severely suppressed by Louis XIV. Stevenson was well-versed in the history and evokes scenes from the rebellion as he passes through the area of the rebellion during the final days of his trek.

Robert Louis Stevenson is the master of the action adventure. The Pavilion on the Links is a classic of the genre - a secret plot, a mysterious and beautiful girl, a villain, mortal danger ... all in a wild and windswept setting. Splendid!

Robert Louis Stevenson. In the Scottish canon to be placed alongside Burns is high praise indeed but it’s a rightful place for one of Scotland’s finest novelists and here, poets. Born in 1850 he managed to cram much into his 44 years travelling widely to France, The States, Samoa and the South Seas.

Robert Louis Stevensons Romane und Erzählungen sind weltbekannt geworden. Von 1890 bis zu seinem Tod 1894 lebte er auf der Samoa - Insel Upolu. Dort entstand auch die Novelle "Der Flaschenteufel", in der Keawe, der Held der Erzählung, in den Besitz einer Flasche gelang, in der ein Teufel wohnt, der alle Wünsche erfüllen kann. Diese Flasche muss man aber stets billiger verkaufen als man sie gekauft hat, denn es liegt ein Fluch auf der Flasche: wer noch im Besitz der Flasche ist, wenn er stirbt, der muss im ewigen Höllenfeuer schmoren. Wie es Keawe gelingt dem Fluch zu entkommen und wie ihm Kokua, seine Frau, dabei hilft, erzählt dieses Hörbuch.

It was a nightmare from which he was furious to have been woken which triggered Robert Louis Stevenson's most successful and famous work. Having been stirred from what he termed 'a fine bogey tale', Stevenson set about putting his nightmare onto paper. It reputedly took him only three days to write, but the story of a split personality warring with itself between righteousness and immorality is as much a part of modern thought as it became in 1885.
