About this ebook

This is the fascinating life story of Robert Louis Stevenson, the beloved author of classics such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," from his early days as an aspiring writer to his first published works, his love affair and then marriage to Fanny Osbourne, his success as an author, his many travels across Europe and the U.S., and finally his voyage to the islands of the South Pacific, where he eventually built the house of his dreams. Stevenson never let his weak lungs (which he referred to as pirates waging a battle inside him) and delicate constitution stand in the way of his insatiable thirst for adventure, living life on his own terms until the very end.

About the author

A scriptwriter for such acclaimed artists as Raymond Poïvet or René Follet, Rodolphe has collaborated with a number of great authors of the 9th art: Léo, Jacques Ferrandez, André Juillard, Annie Goetzinger, Max Cabanes, Griffo, Vink, and Michel Faure! Many times nominated in Angouleme and the winner of several awards, he has also written for younger readers, contributing to "Tom-tom et Nana" and even "Mickey." Aside from comics (numbering over 150 titles), he has also written YA novels and thrillers as well as books dedicated to rock music and the '60s. His epic series "Kenya," now in its third season, has sold over one hundred thousand copies, and he isn't slowing down one bit. His most recent work includes the sci-fi graphic novel "L'homme qui inventait le monde" (Dargaud; "The Man Who Invented the World," Europe Comics), alongside longtime collaborator Bertrand Marchal.
