Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"New Arabian Nights" is a foundational collection of short stories that showcases the versatile imagination and literary prowess of Robert Louis Stevenson. This collection brings together tales of intrigue, adventure, and the macabre, effectively bridging the gap between traditional storytelling and the modern thriller. The work is perhaps best known for the cycles "The Suicide Club" and "The Rajah's Diamond," featuring the recurring character Prince Florizel of Bohemia, whose encounters with danger and high-stakes mystery in the foggy streets of London helped define the urban adventure genre.Also included in this volume is "The Pavilion on the Links," a gripping novella of romance and suspense set against the rugged Scottish coast, often cited as a masterpiece of Stevenson's shorter fiction. Through these diverse narratives, Stevenson explores themes of fate, morality, and the hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface of Victorian society. Whether following the exploits of secretive societies or the desperate flight of individuals caught in extraordinary circumstances, "New Arabian Nights" remains a masterclass in atmospheric writing and narrative suspense, solidifying Stevenson's reputation as one of the nineteenth century's most enduring storytellers.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
