Von Schottland in die Südsee: Robert Louis Stevenson

In the organizer's words:

From Scotland to the South Seas - A conversation about the great storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson between the English scholar Stefan Welz and the mythologist Elmar Schenkel

The Scotsman Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) wrote "Treasure Island". Unforgotten, the scary pirates, the adventures of a boy on ship and island. But there is much more: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, tales from the Arabian Nights, only set in London, Scottish adventure novels, essays, travelogues - for example with a donkey in the Cévennes. And finally, Stevenson lived and died on Samoa in the South Seas, where he was revered as a "Tusitala", a "storyteller". We want to talk about this versatile author, who was admired by both Benjamin and Borges. A conversation between the English scholar Stefan Welz and the mythologist Elmar Schenkel
