Synopsis "Lay Morals (annotated)"

Lay Morals, and other papers, is a classic philosophy essay/short story collection by Robert Louis Stevenson. The problem of education is twofold: first to know, and then to utter. Every one who lives any semblance of an inner life thinks more nobly and profoundly than he speaks; and the best of teachers can impart only broken images of the truth which they perceive. Speech which goes from one to another between two natures, and, what is worse, between two experiences, is doubly relative. Contents: Preface by Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson -- Lay morals -- Father Damien -- The Pentland rising -- The day after to-morrow -- College papers -- Criticisms -- Sketches -- The Great North Road -- The young chevalier -- Heathercat.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
