Excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson: As I Found Him in His Island Home Greater exertion than many who were apparently his superiors physically. His wonder ful will-power to accomplish whatever he undertook was noticeable when some self imposed task would be done that an ordinary person, in good health, would shrink from. He would plunge headlong into the work, whatever it might be, at the desk or climb ing over some untrodden part of the island, straining every nerve and muscle to keep pace with his thoughts. With his active brain he could give a dozen orders to as many different persons without even changing the tone of his voice, or he could sit quietly in his boat, apparently as unconscious as a native, waiting for the mail steamer to anchor and the side steps (gangway) to be lowered. At the first glance one would have thought him a tourist coming on board to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
