Robert Louis Stevenson, Gesammelte Werke

Stevenson's adventure novel "Treasure Island," featuring the young treasure seeker Jim Hawkins and the colorful character of the pirate Long John Silver, is one of the most widely read works in world literature. With the masterful crime narrative "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," which tells the story of the split personality of the esteemed doctor Dr. Henry Jekyll, the Scottish writer lays the foundation for modern horror literature. The collection also includes eight other tales that are macabre, twisty, and entertaining, such as "A Night's Lodging," "The Suicide Club," "The Misadventures of Janet," and "The Body Snatcher."

This is the only edition featuring Stevenson's stories: "I shall always remember the pleasure with which I read his early stories in the Cornhill Magazine, long before I had any idea of the author's name." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. "Believe me, Stevenson's letter about Father Damien has more impact every single minute – and this will surely remain the case in the future – than anything I have ever written or will ever write." - Jack London. "An invention of the highest order." - Bertolt Brecht on "The Master of Ballantrae.".
