Across the Plains

ebook

Famed Scottish writer and traveler, Robert Louis Stevenson not only journeyed across the American Great Plains, he married an American and saw a good deal of of the broad continent. In this volume, Stevenson turns his wonderful prose and biting wit on such topics as Americans, race relations, the illness that had plagued him his entire life, self-examination, the perils of life as an artist, dreams and more. He sees an America that Americans don't see and relates it in the most charming and entertaining of ways. It's not all about America. He also writes of his love of the artist communities of Southern France and the Fife area of his native Scotland. This is the author of Treasure Island, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Kidnapped as you've never read him before.
