Excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson: How to Know HimTevenson is one of the companionable eu thors. He has been able, in an unusual degree, to give himself out to his readers, to share with them his purposes, his tastes, his experience of life. For it is in the mutual appreciation of these things that congeniality between people usually begins, and it is in the stimulus, the suggestion, the criticism to be derived from them that companionship is al ways fostered. The best friends are they who share fully and imaginatively each other's purposes, tastes, and past experience. And if this is the gist Of a man's relation to his fellows, it may also be the secret of his intimacy with his companionable books. In the case of Stevenson and his readers this seems to be especially full of meaning.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
