1919 Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
A collection of the essays of Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer best known for the novel Treasure Island (1883). These essays promote a spirit of playfulness in defiance of both the hardships of human life and the restrictions imposed by bourgeois Philistinism. Despite not selling well, they received a good critical reception. This collection contains: Virginibus Puerisque (I, II, III On Falling in Love, and IV Truth of Intercourse), Crabbed Age and Youth, An Apology for Idler, Ordered South, El Dorado, and many others.
