by Robert Louis Stevenson
Ebook in PDF (download)
Price: $ 1.95
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) lived a brief but remarkable life. Author of more than 40 books — novels and collections of essays and poems — Stevenson is best known for his adventure tales including Treasure Island, Kidnapped, The Black Arrow, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Called "the tale-teller" by locals on the island of Samoa, Stevenson was equally admired by British readers for his writings about the art of craft of literature.
This eBook (republished from the hardcover) is the first electronic edition of Learning to Write—a collection of Stevenson's most important essays on the subject of writing and the writer's life. "The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish." ... The book as a whole can benefit writers in three ways: it discusses the ethics of the writing profession; it provides scores of practical insights into the art of writing; and it offers countless examples of good writing, via Stevenson's lucid and lively prose.
This Zorba Press edition is available in PDF format, which can be printed and read from paper, or read on-screen using almost every PC, Macintosh, and PDA.
