Island Nights Entertainments

USD $ 8,99

Island Nights' Entertainments brings together a series of stories set in the islands of the South Pacific, where the apparent serenity of the tropical landscape is pierced by violence, superstition, and the moral conflicts arising from encounters between cultures. Traders, missionaries, adventurers, and native inhabitants coexist in remote settings in which greed, fear, and desire emerge with force, giving rise to extreme situations and unsettling revelations about human nature. With a sober, precise, and richly atmospheric prose, Robert Louis Stevenson moves away from romantic exoticism to offer a critical and deeply modern view of colonialism and its shadows. Through eloquent silences and restrained tensions, these stories transform the tropical night into a living and disturbing presence, turning the book into an intense reflection on moral fragility, power, and the darkest corners of the human soul.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Autor

Edimburgo, (1850-1894). Robert Louis Stevenson, licenciado en derecho y escritor, fue uno de los exponentes más claros de la llamada novela-narración y del romance por excelencia. Su delicado estado de salud le llevó a viajar continuamente buscando climas favorables para sus pulmones enfermos, por lo que sus primeros relatos fueron, básicamente, una descripción de estas travesías. Su popularidad como escritor se fraguó gracias a los emocionantes argumentos de sus novelas fantásticas y de aventuras, en las que siempre aparecían contrapuestos el bien y el mal, a modo de alegoría moral que se servía del misterio y la aventura. Cantor del coraje y la alegría, Stevenson dejó una vasta obra llena de encanto, con títulos inolvidables.
