  • Autorenportrait
    • Robert Louis Stevenson was an atheist and free spirit. In Samoa where he died he fought in a civil war for independence. In 1886, the blockbuster novel Kidnapped was published a dramatic adventure of abduction and life on the run in the wilds of Scotland. Stevenson died in 1894, just 44 years old. The Samoan natives, who were devoted to Stevenson, cut a track through the jungle to create a resting place for him on top of the mountain above his beloved Vailima estate.
