520 _a"Robert Louis Stevenson: A Record, an Estimate, and a Memorial" by Alexander H. Japp is a biographical and critical examination of the life and works of the famous author, written in the late 19th century. The text delves into Stevenson’s influences, struggles, and character, drawing on personal anecdotes and letters, while celebrating his literary contributions and his particular charm. The beginning of the book introduces the connections between Robert Louis Stevenson and his contemporaries, highlighting his admiration for Thoreau and recounting personal correspondence that illustrates his character and determination. It paints a vivid portrait of Stevenson as a frail yet tenacious figure, whose literary journey was deeply intertwined with his personal experiences and friendships. Japp draws on correspondence with Stevenson to illustrate his intellect, humor, and zest for life despite his physical ailments, offering readers an intimate look at the man behind classic works like "Treasure Island."
