Many of the Gothic romance and horror stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Stevenson litt an Tuberkulose und wurde lediglich 44 Jahre alt. Allerdings hinterließ der Schotte ein umfangreiches Werk von Reiseerzählungen, Abenteuerliteratur, Lyrik, Essays und historischen Romanen. Zu seinen bekanntesten Büchern zählen "Die Schatzinsel" von 1897 und die Gruselnovelle "Der seltsame Fall des Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde" von 1886.

This is the story of Stevenson's Pacific travels on the Casco and the Equator. It is a beautifully observed account of island peoples and their life; it is also the story of the beginning of his love affair with the Pacific, and of his growing commitment to the island cause. In the South Seas has been described as "the most solid of Stevenson's general writings;" it is certainly his least known book as well as a unique gem of Pacific literature, and richly deserves to be rediscovered.

Diese märchenhaft-exotische Geschichte erzählt von einem armen Matrosen, der einen Pakt mit dem Teufel schließt, um zu Reichtum und Unabhängigkeit zu kommen. Opferbereitschaft und selbstlose Liebe erweisen sich jedoch stärker als die dämonische Macht.
