New Arabian Nights

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Overview

In the collection „New Arabian Nights”, the descriptions of the adventures of the fantastic prince of Bohemia are replaced by the mysterious atmosphere of the „Pavilion on the Hill”, vivid pictures of medieval France give way to the real facts of the series of villainous murders that formed the basis of the horror story „The Thief of Corpses”. And, as always with Stevenson, the reader will be pleased with a tense entertaining plot, picturesque figurativeness of speech, and a refined style. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for children of middle and senior school age.

About the Author

Born in Edinburgh in 1850, to strict Calvinist parents, Robert Louis Stevenson was a famous Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer. His ill health meant that he spent the latter part of his life voyaging the world, in an attempt to find a climate that suited his health, and this contributed to the exoticism of much of his work. He finally settled in Samoa, and died in 1899. Revered during his lifetime, and often harshly underrated since his death, Robert Louis Stevenson is today recognized as one of the the great writers of the nineteenth century, having influenced authors such as Graham Greene, Jorge Luis Borges and Vladimir Nabokov.
