A collection of 12 travel pieces and personal/critical essays written by Stevenson, originally published in 1892.
This is a Chatto & Windus (London), 1920 edition.
Across the Plains (the long opening piece) recounts Stevenson’s immigrant-class rail journey from New York to San Francisco. The Lantern-Bearers, A Chapter on Dreams, Pulvis et Umbra, and A Christmas Sermon are frequently anthologized essays that mix memoir with aesthetics, psychology, and moral reflection.
Hardback in good condition. Green covers with a very slight stain.
