Summary: "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 25" by Stevenson is a collection of letters and writings that detail the author's life and experiences during his time in Samoa, written in the late 19th century. The volume focuses particularly on Stevenson's first year at Vailima, detailing the trials, tribulations, and cultural observations he encountered while living in the South Seas. The correspondence offers a personal insight into Stevenson's thoughts on literature, farming, local politics, and his interactions with various figures of his time. The opening of the volume introduces Stevenson and his wife arriving at their newly built cottage in Samoa, amidst the challenges of adapting to their rugged surroundings. The letters articulate the hardships they faced in establishing their home—issues with labor, local customs, and the natural environment—as well as Stevenson's reflections on his writing projects during this period. The narrative blends personal anecdotes with observations about the colorful and often complicated political landscape of Samoa, capturing the essence of his life in this new and exotic locale while maintaining a focus on his literary endeavors and friendships.
