Über Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), geboren in Edinburgh, wollte zunächst Ingenieur werden wie sein Vater, musste diesen Plan jedoch aufgeben, weil er schon früh an einem Lungenleiden erkrankte. Er studierte stattdessen Jura und arbeitete anschließend für verschiedene Zeitschriften. Seinen ersten großen literarischen Erfolg feierte er 1883 mit seiner Abenteuergeschichte «Die Schatzinsel», weitere mit unheimlichen Geschichten in der Nachfolge E. A. Poes. Seine Einkünfte erlaubten dem gebürtigen Schotten lebenslanges Reisen auf der Suche nach einem Klima, das bekömmlicher war als das heimische. Er fand es auf Samoa, wo er im Alter von 44 Jahren starb.
