Synopsis "En los Mares del sur (in Spanish)"

Aquejado de una penosa enfermedad, la tuberculosis,
R.L. Stevenson parte en junio de 1888 con destino a las islas
del Pac¡fico Sur, en busca de un clima m s benigno
para su quebrantada salud. Durante dieciocho meses,
acompa¤ado por Fanny, su mujer, y su hijastro
Lloyd Osbourne, recorre las Marquesas, las Poamot£,
Hawai, las Gilbert y Samoa, asent ndose definitivamente
en la isla Upolu. All¡ se construye una mansi¢n,
«Vailima», y recibe de los ind¡genas el nombre de «Tusitala»
(el narrador de cuentos). Cuatro a¤os m s tarde,
el tres de diciembre de 1894, su cuerpo cede finalmente
al acoso de la muerte y es enterrado en una privilegiada
atalaya sobre el Pac¡fico.
En los Mares del Sur es la cr¢nica, llena de curiosas
an‚cdotas y aventuras, de ese viaje crepuscular,
donde la prosa de Stevenson irradia su poderosa magia
para contarnos la vida y costumbres de los habitantes
de esas islas paradis¡acas, que arrastran
sin embargo un pasado can¡bal.
R. L. Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (Edinburgh, Scotland, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) is a Scottish writer, one of the great classics of 19th century literature. Master of adventure and fantasy novels, his work achieved popular and enduring success. Among his most famous titles are Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Black Arrow (1888), all of which have been translated into multiple languages and adapted numerous times for film, theater, and television. Due to his fragile health, Stevenson was a tireless traveler, also becoming a prominent travel essayist. He spent his last years in the Samoa Islands, where he died.
