As from the house your mother sees
You playing round the garden trees,
So you may see, if you will look
Through the windows of this book,
Another child, far, far away,
And in another garden, play.
But do not think you can at all,
By knocking on the window, call That child to hear you. He intent Is all on his play-business bent. He does not hear, he will not look, Nor yet be lured out of this book. For, long ago, the truth to say, He has grown up and gone away, And it is but a child of air That lingers in the garden there.

Biography of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94)
In order to fully understand the world in which Stevenson was raised, it is necessary to understand that there were two Edinburghs, both which played a part in molding his personality and outlook. On one hand was New Town, respectable, conventional, deeply religious, and polite. On the other was a much more bohemian Edinburgh, symbolized by brothels and shadiness. The juxtaposition of the two aspects in contrast to each other made a deep impression and strengthened his fascination with the duality of human nature, later providing the theme for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In the autumn of 1873, Stevenson was taken ill with nervous exhaustion and a severe chest condition, consequently, his doctor ordered him to take an extended rest abroad. For the next six months, he convalesced in the South of France, working on essays. On his return to Edinburgh, he spent much of his time writing book reviews and articles and experimenting with short stories. Slowly but surely, he earned a name for himself in journalism and his pieces began appearing in distinguished journals such as The Fortnightly Review. At this time, he met an American married woman, Fanny Vandergrift Osbourne, ten years his senior, whom was in Europe trying to escape her estranged husband's influence. For three years, Stevenson (still in ill health) continued his relationship with her and eventually followed her to San Francisco, where she obtained a divorce from her husband and married Stevenson in May 1880.

Biograf­a y selecci³n de textos del novelista, ensayista y poeta escoc©s.
http://rehue.csociales.uchile.cl/rehuehome/facultad/publicaciones/autores/steven
UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES El Autor de la Semana Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson Novelista, ensayista y poeta escocés, algunas de cuyas obras se han convertido en clásicos de la literatura infantil. Vida Nació el 13 de noviembre de 1850 en Edimburgo. Hijo de un ingeniero, estudió también esta profesión y, más tarde leyes, en la universidad de su ciudad natal. Desde su niñez, sin embargo, siempre había sentido una especial inclinación hacia la literatura. Ello le influyó, más adelante, para dedicarse a las letras, y fue perfeccionando su estilo de tal modo que en pocos años se situó entre los escritores más destacados de su tiempo. Enfermo de tuberculosis, se vio obligado a viajar continuamente en busca de climas apropiados a su delicado estado de salud. Sus primeros libros son descripciones de algunos de estos viajes. Así, Viaje tierra adentro (1878) cuenta un recorrido en canoa a través de Francia y Bélgica que había realizado en 1876, y Viajes en burro por las Cevannes (1879) los avatares de un viaje a pie por las montañas del sur de Francia, en 1878. Uno de sus viajes posteriores le llevó, en un barco de emigrantes, a California (1879-1880), donde, en 1880, se casó con la divorciada estadounidense Frances Osbourne. Otro de ellos consistió en un crucero de placer por el sur del Pacífico (1889) hasta las islas Samoa

John Sessions In Reconstructing Louis John Sessions brings to vivid life a man by turns reckless, romantic and ruthless. Cutting through the popular myths of Robert Louis Stevenson as a romantic consumptive and drawing on over twenty biographies of the writer, Sessions has written, and plays, a complex man from his early life as a budding religious zealot to his death from a brain haemorrhage in Samoa at the age of 44. Julie Batty talked to John Sessions about Robert Louis Stevenson, writing for radio and the ambitions of a man once described as ‘almost as good as he thinks he is’.
I first met John Sessions at a birthday party for one of his numerous god-children, in East Dulwich in 1991. He was leaning against the sink in the kitchen, brandishing a glass of red wine like a stately orb and a cigarette like a jester’s jingly stick while he entertained a group of grinning onlookers. He was best known then for being one of the first performers on

Search all of Robert Louis Stevenson Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) , Scottish essayist, poet and author of fiction and travel books, known especially for his novels of adventure.
Stevenson was born on November 13, 1850 in Edinburgh as the son of Thomas Stevenson, joint-engineer to the Board of Northern Lighthouses. Since his childhood Stevenson suffered from tuberculosis. In 1867 he entered Edinburgh University to study engineering, but changed to law and in 1875 he was called to the Scottish bar. During these years his first works were published in The Edinburgh University Magazine (1871) and The Portfolio
Instead of practicing law, Stevenson devoted himself to writing travel sketches, essays, and short stories for magazines. An account of his canoe tour of France and Belgium was published in 1878 as An Inland Voyage , and Travels With A Donkey In The Cervennes appeared next year. In 1879 Stevenson moved to California with Fanny Osbourne, whom he had met in France. They married in 1880, and after a brief stay at Calistoga, which was recorded in

Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was at the height of his powers when he died suddenly in Samoa in 1894. For a long period he was thought of mainly as the writer of adventure stories for children, but now there is growing recognition of his subtle and surprisingly modern explorations of dilemmas of character and action. Stevenson grew up in Edinburgh, and this profoundly shaped his writing. He was born on 13th November 1850 and from earliest childhood he was frequently ill, which influenced a fertile imagination. It was assumed that Stevenson would follow the profession of his father, Thomas Stevenson , a distinguished lighthouse and harbour engineer, and he studied engineering at Edinburgh University. However, in his twenty-first year he announced his intention of becoming a writer. He began with essays and travel writing and within a few years was recognised as a writer of great promise. His first commercially published book

Return to Thoreau Reader Thoreau Biographical essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Atlantic Monthly, August 1862 Emerson was a major influence and mentor for Thoreau; it was Emerson who loaned Henry a pondside property for the two year experiment that resulted in Walden . But as Thoreau grew, Emerson appears not to have appreciated what was happening. He writes, "I cannot help counting it a fault in him that he had no ambition." — apparently missing completely the originality and enormity of Thoreau's ambitions. - brief analysis of a complicated relationship - by Amy Belding Brown Emerson's Thoreau in two parts: One Two Henry David Thoreau:

By Robert Louis Stevenson, Cornhill Magazine , June 1880 Stevenson was a Scottish writer whose best known works are Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . He has at least two parallels with Thoreau: his first book was about traveling on inland waterways, and he died of tuberculosis at age 44.
