5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Stevenson's best,
By
This review is from: The Wrecker (Fl Eolit 2010) (Paperback)
It's unfortunate that this novel is, as far as the major publishing houses are concerned, out of print. But if you are after a hard copy, it's very fortunate that Biblio Bazaar have printed it at a reasonable price. BB's edition is without ornamentation but if you want to add The Wrecker to your Robert Louis Stevenson collection - and you should, if you're a fan - it does the job.The novel itself is very enjoyable. The story follows Loudon Dodd in his travels, particularly to Midway Island in search of The Flying Scud, a wreck he and his business partner purchased for an exorbitant amount in the hope of finding a stash of opium that will make them rich. But all is not as it seems... It's a compelling tale. Jorge Luis Borges said the only reason it's not recognised as Stevenson's greatest novel is critics were/are concerned about giving the title to a work which was written with his stepson, Lloyd Osbourne. |
