Synopsis "Treasure Island and Kidnapped: N. C. Wyeth Collector'S Edition (2-Vol. Clothbound Set) (Abbeville Illustrated Classics) "

N. C. Wyeth's illustrations to Treasure Island and Kidnapped--first published in 1911 and 1913, respectively, by Charles Scribner's Sons--made his artistic reputation. With a bold mastery of light and color, Wyeth brilliantly conveyed action, character, and setting, lending an extra excitement to Robert Louis Stevenson's tales of pirates and buried treasure, and intrigue in the Scottish Highlands. Now readers can enjoy this classic author-illustrator pairing in a handsome two-volume set with a new introduction by Christine B. Podmaniczky, a leading expert on N. C. Wyeth.

Robert Louis Stevenson

(Author)

View Author's Page

(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.

Muy buena edición, de estética cuidada, con las canónicas ilustraciones de N. C. Wyeth! Los libros vienen en una funda de cartón, son de tapa dura, cosidos, con cubierta en tela, buen grosor de papel y tamaño de letra. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque hubiera preferido un color de papel más cálido. Súper recomendable, de excelente relación precio/calidad!
