Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. First American Edition. 296 p. Schutzumschlag leicht bereieben, sont ein sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar, frei von Anstreichungen. - Dust jacket lightly rubbed, otherwise a very good copy, free of markings. - Born and raised in Edinburgh and educated at Edinburgh University, Ian Bell was the literary editor of the Scotsman before becoming Scottish Editor of the Observer. Dreams of Exile, published in England in 1992, was nominated for the British Nonfiction Book of the Year. Mr. Bell is the editor of the two-volume Robert Louis Stevenson - The Complete Short Stories: The Centenary Edition, which will appear in America in 1994. - Fiction is to grown men what play is to the child, Robert Louis Stevenson once said in a statement that perfectly captures the magic of his own fiction. Immensely popular during his brief life - he died in 1894 at the age of forty- four - he has never lacked for readers since. In the century that followed his death, many biographies have been written, each with its own image of R.L.S.: the sickly, dreaming child; the Bohemian dandy outraging Victorian Edinburgh; the romantic wanderer leading his donkey through the wilds of the Cevennes; the frail genius doomed to die young. For some, he is the man of action avid for experience, filled with wanderlust; for others, the writer of stories beloved by children and familiar from innumerable film and television dramas. Still others know him as the essayist whose skills matched William Hazlitts and the novelist to whom even Henry James deferred. All of these are R.L.S., but none is the full Stevenson. - Now, in this new and acclaimed biography, Ian Bell attempts to see Stevenson whole, to trace the line of descent from the son of Calvinist engineers to the man who ended his days as Tusitala among the Samoan islanders. Understanding that for Stevenson geography mattered, Bell sets out to discover the complete man through the places he lived and the people he lived among as well as through the books that poured from him during his all-too- short literary life. As such, Dreams of Exile is both literary biography and travel narrative. It - follows Stevensons development as an artist and as a man by following his often chaotic progress from continent to continent, in good health and in bad, in poverty and in wealth. Along the way, it reveals his often tortured relations with his family, his robust sexuality, and the mystery of his stormy marriage to a woman many years his senior. - But perhaps Bells most important contribution is to Tescue R.L.S. from the many conflicting and often romanticized images that have continued to surround him, and in the process to make a telling case for Stevensons genius as a writer. - Jacket photograph courtesy of Archive Photos Jacket design by Russell Gordon. - ISBN 9780805028072 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 630.…
