Discover the fascinating story of the Stevenson family and their legacy in the construction of Scottish lighthouses. Bella Bathurst takes us back to the 19th century to explore the determination and ingenuity required to erect these imposing structures in inhospitable places. Through vivid descriptions and an engaging narrative, this book pays tribute to a little-known historical tradition and the legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson.
Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.
