More New Arabian Nights (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): The Dynamiter and The Story of a Lie

by Fanny van de Grift Stevenson, Robert Louis Stevenson

Overview

With “The Dynamiter,” a series of linked stories written in collaboration with his wife, Fanny Vandergrift, Stevenson returns to the character of Prince Florizel, first introduced in New Arabian Nights. Florizel (now going by the name Theophilus Godall) and his associates are led on a wild adventure in search of the evil terrorist Zero and his henchmen—including the exotic dynamiter Clara Luxmore. In “The Story of a Lie,” a young man lies to his beloved so that she may maintain her illusions about her father. Then, the young man, in his turn, must deal with the consequences of his own father’s lies.

About the Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Scotland. Despite his frequent illnesses, he wrote memorable fiction and nonfiction. He was admired by many authors, and G.K Chesterton said he, “seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen.” His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
