Fairly easy to read. The letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, parts VII—X. Produced by Marius Masi, Jonathan Ingram and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 24" by Stevenson is a collection of letters penned by the renowned Scottish author, reflecting periods of his life during the late 19th century. This edition captures Stevenson's thoughts, observations, and experiences during his time in France and reflects upon his struggles with health and his writing pursuits. The letters convey personal relationships, travels, and literary projects, aiming to provide readers with a deeper understanding of Stevenson as both a person and an artist. At the start of this volume, the narrative reveals that Stevenson has recently returned from California, yet his health remains fragile, leading him to seek a suitable climate in the Mediterranean. The initial letters express his discomfort with the life of an invalid and document his journeys in search of a healing environment, including settling in a house in St. Marcel, near Marseilles. However, a series of misfortunes soon follows—health complications, an epidemic that disrupts their plans, and correspondence with friends and family that explores both playful banter and heartfelt sentiments. These early exchanges set the stage for a reflective personal journal that intertwines his literary ambitions with his struggles against illness.
