Reisen im Licht der Sterne

A writer, gallows birds, and pirate treasures. Against all conventions, Robert Louis Stevenson falls in love with a married woman and travels to the South Seas with her. How does Stevenson acquire the funds to establish a princely residence in Samoa? Why does the lung-sick poet defy the tropical climate until his death? One thing is certain: the author of 'Treasure Island' attained wealth in the South Seas that literary successes can hardly explain. Alex Capus follows the journey of two lovers who lived passionate years in the South Seas - and perhaps found pirate treasures.
