Synopsis "Prince Otto: A Romance (in English)"

". . . a remarkably interesting work and a splendid example of what Stevenson could do even when writing at his ordinary best rather than his very best."- Graham Tulloch, Professor, Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology Flinders UniversityPrince Otto: A Romance (1883) by Robert Louis Stevenson recounts the story of young dilettante who is faced with overcoming a sequence of challenges-to his kingdom, to his wife, and to his own life-in order to determine what is important to him. At the end, he learns the value of growing up. This book is packed with romance, drama, and beautifully drawn characters. Eight years in the writing, this is the author's only work of romantic fiction and considered a masterful work.

(Edimburgo, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) Novelista, cuentista, poeta y ensayista británico. Ingresó en la Universidad de Edimburgo cuando tenía dieciséis años para poder seguir los pasos de su padre y convertirse en ingeniero de faros, de lo cual desistiría. Sus estudios de náutica, le permitieron entrar en contacto con las gentes y costumbres marineras, ingredientes fundamentales en algunas de sus obras más conocidas. Su famosa obra, La Isla del tesoro, la publicó bajo el seudónimo de Captain George North en 1881. En 1886, llegaría El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura. Murió en la Isla de Samoa, en su casa, Vailima.
