 Stevenson Under the Palm Trees Alberto Manguel LITERATURE • 2004 • PAPER • 112 PAGES
Manguel (A History of Reading) evokes Robert Louis Stevenson and his years in the South Seas in this meditative story. Stevenson becomes introspective -- and a little homesick-- when he meets a man on Samoa from his home town of Edinburgh, and his quiet life takes a disturbing turn when the Samoan woman he loves is raped and murdered.
