Stevenson's considerable gifts as a teller of tales shine brightly in this choice collection of three of his best short stories. The Gothic tale of \"The Body Snatcher\" concerns a young medical student's dealings with grave robbers who provide corpses to dissect and study — a practice that takes on increasingly sinister dimensions. Swirling seas, dangerous reefs, and inhospitable islanders provide the grim backdrop for a tale of greed, lunacy, and unbridled fear in \"The Merry Men,\" the name given by the inhabitants of Aros to the fearsome breakers that pound their tiny Scottish isle. \"The Bottle Imp\" — an intricately told tale of love and adventure, avarice and envy, and good and evil — centers on a magical bottle that provides its owner with all he desires, but at a great cost. This exceptional collection of tales will thrill admirers of the author's craft as well as aficionados of classic horror stories.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44456796684385,"sku":"9780486110097","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_6114aa6e-a7c9-45ca-8ceb-864941fe62bb.jpg?v=1778565975"},{"product_id":"treasure-island-1","title":"Treasure Island","description":"One of the most enduringly popular adventure tales, Treasure Island began in 1881 as a serialized adventure entitled \"The Sea-Cook\" in the periodical Young Folks. Completed during a stay at Davos, Switzerland, where Stevenson had gone for his health, it was published in 1883 in the form we know today. Set in the eighteenth century, Treasure Island spins a heady tale of piracy, a mysterious treasure map, and a host of sinister characters charged with diabolical intentions. Seen through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, the cabin boy of the Hispaniola, the action-packed adventure tells of a perilous sea journey across the Spanish Main, a mutiny led by the infamous Long John Silver, and a lethal scramble for buried treasure on an exotic isle. Rich in atmosphere and character, Treasure Island continues to mesmerize readers with its perceptive views of the changing nature of human motives.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44456901083233,"sku":"9780486110585","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_e812ec45-4bef-4d59-bd27-5d831b3c13af.jpg?v=1778566097"},{"product_id":"the-master-of-ballantrae","title":"The Master of Ballantrae","description":"Set in 18th-century Scotland, this brooding historical romance unfolds amid the Jacobite Rebellion. A struggle between good and evil begins in the old Scottish castle of Durrisdeer — the ancestral home of the Durie clan — where James Durie, Master of Ballantrae, persists in his lifelong rivalry with his younger brother as well as his relentless quest for the family fortune. From Durrisdeer, the fast-paced adventure shifts to sea voyages and encounters with pirates, intrigue at the French court and in India, and an attempt to recover buried treasure in New York's Adirondack Mountains — all leading to a shocking climax in the American wilderness. An engrossing tale played out against the backdrop of three continents, The Master of Ballantrae stands among the most vivid and exciting of Robert Louis Stevenson' tales.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44457002958945,"sku":"9780486110844","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_6df8bd3f-2273-4d42-9a24-337158fad9c0.jpg?v=1778566215"},{"product_id":"the-suicide-club","title":"The Suicide Club","description":"A generous and remarkable young prince, together with his loyal and brave servant, find more adventure than they bargained for in The Suicide Club, Robert Louis Stevenson's engrossing trilogy of short stories about a bizarre club for people with a strong desire to end their lives. In these interrelated tales, Prince Florizel of Bohemia and his aide, Colonel Geraldine, travel incognito through some of the most dangerous haunts of 19th-century London. \"The Story of the Young Man with the Cream Tarts\" introduces Florizel to the formidable Suicide Club, an organization for people who wish to end their lives, but don't have the courage to accomplish the act themselves. The \"Story of the Physician and the Saratoga Trunk\" reveals the grim contents of a large piece of luggage that travels hundreds of miles to its final destination; and in \"The Adventure of the Hansom Cab,\" a bloody resolution seals the fate of a notorious and elusive assassin. Brimming with heart-stopping drama, this rare, lesser-known work by a master storyteller will appeal to a wide circle of readers, including fans of the great 19th-century English writer as well as lovers of a good mystery story.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44457593176161,"sku":"9780486112947","price":1.25,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_0b551753-ee48-4062-a7ef-df678db1e832.jpg?v=1778566918"},{"product_id":"the-strange-case-of-dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde-1","title":"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde","description":"In September of 1884, Robert Louis Stevenson, then in his mid-thirties, moved with his family to Bournemouth, a resort on the southern coast of England, where in the brief span of 23 months he revised A Child's Garden of Verses and wrote the novels Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. An intriguing combination of fantast thriller and moral allegory, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities — one essentially good, the other evil — for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveals Stevenson as a writer of great skill and originality, whose power to terrify and move us remains, over a century later, undiminished.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44458779279457,"sku":"9780486132754","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_cd7fdf4b-28a8-4496-99c4-f5eebdd6778f.jpg?v=1778568342"}],"url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/collections\/robert-louis-stevenson.oembed","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
