The romance between Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson was an unlikely Victorian love story: he was an ambitious but drifting college-educated writer from a prominent family in Scotland; she was a forceful and determined farm girl from Indiana with a high school education. She was married, with children, and 10 years his senior when they met in France in 1876. How could a union between them work? A Wilder Shore is a portrait of these two extraordinary people and a nuanced examination of the improbable union that stimulated, frustrated and ultimately sustained them. The book travels the world with the couple as they seek better health for him, a looser lifestyle and more creative freedom, beginning in an art colony outside Paris and ending in Samoa, where they lived and joined the native islanders'' fight for independence from imperialist powers. Along the way, the ferment of the Stevensons'' deeply loving but stormy marriage produced literary masterpieces by Robert such as Treasure Islan

The romance between Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson was an unlikely Victorian love story: he was an ambitious but drifting college-educated writer from a prominent family in Scotland; she was a forceful and determined farm girl from Indiana with a high school education. She was married, with children, and 10 years his senior when they met in France in 1876. How could a union between them work? A Wilder Shore is a portrait of these two extraordinary people and a nuanced examination of the improbable union that stimulated, frustrated and ultimately sustained them. The book travels the world with the couple as they seek better health for him, a looser lifestyle and more creative freedom, beginning in an art colony outside Paris and ending in Samoa, where they lived and joined the native islanders'' fight for independence from imperialist powers. Along the way, the ferment of the Stevensons'' deeply loving but stormy marriage produced literary masterpieces by Robert such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This sweeping love story of Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson and their search for freedom and self-discovery opens up new perspectives on both writers, as well as showing how astonishingly modern they were for their times.

Oppdag kjærlighetens reise i A Wilder Shore

Gjør deg klar for en reise tilbake i tid med A Wilder Shore: The Romantic Odyssey of Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson. Denne gripende boken skildrer den usannsynlige kjærlighetshistorien mellom Fanny, en modig farmjente fra Indiana, og Robert Louis Stevenson, en ambisiøs, men driftig forfatter fra Skottland. Deres kjærlighet, på mange måter, sprenger rammer og utfordrer normene i den viktorianske epoken.

Kjernen av et ekstraordinært par

  • Fanny Stevenson: En sterk og besluttsom kvinne, med en bakgrunn som bærer preg av mot og styrke.
  • Robert Louis Stevenson: En talentfull forfatter kjent for klassikere som Treasure Island og Dr. Jekyll og Mr. Hyde.
  • Perioden: Deres beretning strekker seg fra møter i Frankrike til liv i Samoa, der de deltok i lokalbefolkningens kamp for selvstendighet.

Et stormfullt, men kjærlighetsfullt ekteskap

Boken tar leseren med på en global ferd — fra kunstkolonier i Paris til de tropiske strendene i Samoa. A Wilder Shore gir ikke bare et innblikk i deres kjærlighet, men viser også hvordan deres stormfulle ekteskap resulterte i noen av de mest elskede litterære verkene i vår tid. Glem ikke hvordan livet som par var preget av både kreativ frihet og helseutfordringer, som de navigerte sammen.

Historien om selvoppdagelse og modernitet

Les hvordan A Wilder Shore utfordrer vår forståelse av både disse forfatterne og deres tid, med en fortelling om selvoppdagelse, frihet og kreativitet. Boken er ikke bare en kjærlighetshistorie, men et dyptgående dokument om hvordan to sjeler fant hverandre og hvordan de, til tross for tidens begrensninger, klarte å bryte ut av samfunnets rammer.

Ikke gå glipp av sjansen til å utforske dette fantastiske verket, som gir nytt liv til historiene som formet litteraturens gullalder. A Wilder Shore er perfekt for alle som søker inspirasjon og en dypere forståelse av kjærlighetens mange fasetter.
