El padre de La isla del tesoro solo llegó a publicar dos libros de poemas en vida, pero dejó muchos inéditos. Hacia tierras lejanas recoge una selección de los versos más representativos de su poesía sencilla y cercana, en un estilo directo, realista y melancólico. Minado por una enfermedad temprana, Stevenson se tambaleó durante toda su vida entre la nostalgia y la alegría. Sin embargo, sus versos conjuran paraísos de libertad, parajes entre el sueño y la realidad que maravillan al lector con la misma magia de esas islas, tesoros y piratas que nos cautivaron cuando éramos niños.

Die gottesfürchtige Puritanergesellschaft eines kleines Dorfes staunt nicht schlecht als sich ihr neuer Pastor als ein Mann erweist, dem die 1000-2000 Buchseiten konzentrierter Wahrheit, die Bibel, anscheinend nicht genügen. Nicht nur, dass er sich anmaßt andere Bücher zu lesen, er stellt sogar eine lupenreine Sünderin, Janet, als Hausangestellte ein.

When a brilliant doctor's experiment goes wrong, a dangerous pursuit of separating good and evil follows... Tucked away in the dark and murky streets of London, a lawyer finds himself investigating strange incidents between his old friend Dr Henry Jekyll and the reclusive Edward Hyde. Although seemingly nothing alike, the two are more similar than what meets the eye... This classic tale is perfect for fans of Heather Parry and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

"Olalla" is a short story by the Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in the Christmas 1885 issue of The Court and Society Review, then re-published in 1887 as part of the collection The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables. It is set in Spain during the Peninsular War. The story is based on a dream that Stevenson had and in his 1888 essay "A Chapter on Dreams", he describes the difficulties he had in fitting his vision into a narrative framework.

First published in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson's rollicking historical novel Kidnapped was an instant bestseller. It was followed by an 1893 sequel, Catriona, which Stevenson regarded as his 'high water mark', declaring that he would 'never do a better book'. Included here is the epic 10-part BBC radio dramatisation of both action-packed tales.

Robert Louis Stevenson was a novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer, and created some of the most famous and influential characters in modern literature. From Long John Silver and David Balfour to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, his figures swiftly became the shorthand for piracy, monstrous medicine, and the slave trade in America. A master of atmosphere and an enthusiast of foreign travel, Stevenson wrote countless stories which have been enjoyed in film, television and theatre adaptations throughout the years.

But he is disturbed by a spirit who knows all about Markheim’s life and forces him to consider his choices and the nature of good and evil.

Chi non ha mai sentito parlare del dottor Jekyll e del suo alter ego, il signor Hyde? Uno dei classici della narrativa mondiale che ha ispirato innumerevoli autori e autrici che lo hanno succeduto. Londra vittoriana, cupa e coperta dai vapori e dalle esalazioni industriali, con i suoi vicoli acciottolati, le sue carrozze, i lumini a olio e le sue figure misteriose, le sue ombre pericolose - un'estetica che deve gran parte della propria fama narrativa proprio a questo romanzo.

A timeless book of beautiful children's poetry, with a new forward about why it's beneficial for children to learn poetry.

Treasure Island follows the adventures of a cabin boy named Jim Hawkins on board the Hispaniola. Hawkins is in for the adventure of a lifetime, as he braves dangerous waters, lives through a mutiny, and searches for buried treasure.

Jim Hawkins, the son of an innkeeper, longs for adventure. One of the inn's guests, a coarse old bully named Billy Bones, reveals a map showing the whereabouts of buried treasure. After Bones dies, Jim and his mother flee with the map to Squire John Trelawney, outwitting other pirates who were chasing Bones. With Trelawney's friend Dr. Livesey, the squire charters a schooner carrying a band of pirates led by Long John Silver. Excitement and heroic action await Jim Hawkins as he seeks to foil the pirates, find the buried gold, and bring Long John Silver to justice.

A seafaring stranger comes to the Admiral Benbow Inn, and young Jim Hawkins begins the journey of a lifetime. In this spirited production, veteran narrator BJ Harrison makes you feel as though you are sitting alongside Long John Silver and his pirate crew as they plot and scheme their way to treasure.

Markheim ist ein Dieb. Und ein Mörder – denn er ersticht auf denkbar gewissenlose Art den alten Trödler, den er in dessen Geschäft aufgesucht hatte. Doch während seines Beutezuges im Laden erscheint plötzlich ein Besucher, der merkwürdig viele Details aus Markheims Leben zu wissen scheint. Wer ist dieser seltsame Fremde, der mit seiner jovialen, unerschrockenen Art Markheim zusehends aus der Fassung bringt? Stevensons Geschichte ist teils Krimi, teils psychologische Studie – und äußerst spannend bis zum Schluss.

Die tollen Männer – das ist eine Gesteinsformation an der Küste einer unwirtlichen schottischen Insel, die eine tödliche Gefahr für vorüberfahrende Schiffe darstellt.

Woher diese kommen, ist klar – aber wer liegt in dem frischen Grab nahe beim Wrack? Hat sich der Onkel eines kapitalen Verbrechens schuldig gemacht?
