He thrilled readers the world over with breathtaking tales of
pirates (Treasure Island) and monsters (The Strange Case of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). But the short life of writer Robert Louis
Stevenson (1850-94) was as adventurous as almost anything in his
fiction. He was both engineer and aesthete, Covenanter and atheist,
dutiful son and reckless lover. His travels, illnesses, creative
struggles, volatile relationships, and titanic quarrels were the
stuff of legend.
Until now, no biography has done justice to the complex,
brilliant, and troubled man who was responsible for so many
remarkable literary creations, the least "Victorian" of Victorian
writers. Claire Harman's Myself & the Other Fellow is a
fascinating portrait of a man of humor, resilience, and strongly
unconventional views, the most authoritative, comprehensive, and
perceptive biography of Robert Louis Stevenson to date.
