Sailing By Starlight

Informationen zum Autor Alex Capus is a journalist and the author of several novels, including Léon and Louise . Klappentext Stevenson ended his days living on the island of Samoa in luxury, but from where did his riches originate? 'Confiding, easy-going, intimate, the writer spins a new - a mind-bendingly new - account from this well-worn cloth. Fluent, charming, but mischievous, the story slips past like a tantalising vision but leaves a strange flavour behind.' '[A] fascinating investigation...' -- Giles Foden Zusammenfassung Follows every step of Robert Louis Stevenson's last years, studying every clue left behind by the Scottish writer and reaching his own conclusion about the most dramatic turn in Stevenson's life: his decision to settle in Samoa, where the climate was poison for his already diseased lungs.
