Viac o knihe

Focusing on the transformative years between 1887 and 1894, the book explores how Robert Louis Stevenson’s travels in the Pacific influenced his writing and political views. As he broadened his geographical and cultural perspectives, his professional landscape evolved significantly. A notable aspect of the study is the examination of Victorian readers' resistance to both the Pacific themes in Stevenson's later works and his innovative stylistic choices, highlighting the tension between traditional expectations and modern literary experimentation.
