Description
Robert Louis Stevenson lived out his final years on a remote island, where he became embroiled in a complex web of colonial politics. In 1890, he settled in Upolu, Samoa, after a two-year journey around the South Pacific. Stevenson's experiences in Samoa had a profound impact on his life and work, and this book offers a fresh perspective on his twilight years. Farrell's study of Stevenson's time in Samoa sheds light on the island's culture, history, and politics, as well as the author's own life and work. By examining the full complexity of Samoa and the colonial situation, the book reveals Stevenson's lasting contribution to the island's cause. This biography stands apart from previous works by giving equal weight to the Samoa and its people, as well as the life and work of the man himself.
