Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

"Beautiful as she is, she is not so much beautiful as interesting. She is pre-eminently Gothic, and all the more so since she has set herself off with some Greek airs, and erected classic temples on her crags. In a word and above all, she is a curiosity. R. L. Stevenson on Edinburgh

First published in 1879, Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes is amongst the most vivid of Stevenson's writings The romantic and the louche rub shoulders in this eulogy of Stevenson's birthplace. His passion for Auld Reekie never clouded his wry wit, and his enthusiasm for the picturesque detail and the savoury historical anecdote will delight readers today as much as they scandalised contemporaries.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
