The Wrecker


From many writers of the second half of XIXth Century Robert Louis Stevenson differed in talent of writing and he did it with a quality. I adore of his word. It can write about far-away adventures, fright of desciption of gloom place, scene or whole story can be in these tones, hold in mystery. In books, weren’t types – there are characters with multiplicity of attitudes. David Balfour from “Kidnapped” and “Catriona” isn’t evil man, but our views on many things are differ and he’s boring as a person for me unlike of his companion Alan Breck Stewart whose spirit is near for me. Actions made by heroes not always can be right and committed from dilemma. What I like the most, Stevenson wasn’t anywhere stereotyped in writing.   

In last times, I sometimes understand, that some people don’t like to share on genres. The Wrecker begins from drama about a man who wanted to be an artist and even there his life filled of different shades, than it changes on adventure and after that, an introduced genre cooperates with detective story. It happens with countries, where for everyone gives brilliantly described mood, and book itself, which in one moment particularly reminded unfinished in read “The Manuscript Found in Saragossa” (dropped, because count’s realization of this great idea is exaggerated and looks inauthentically, what didn’t allow to finish yet.). I’ve got again a pleasure from author’s word. After reading, I saw a lot of parts of text were needless from my view as an writer. Some of them I would represented in other ways. I didn’t see importance to know main hero’s story from his birth and a few details didn’t look truly for me, but all of this were views of authors. The Wrecker was a second collaboration of Robert Louis Stevenson with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. I didn’t read others two, but about this one I can write, that together they elaborated characters, but shared between each other parts of the book.
The Wrecker could be a one more spectacular Stevenson’s book and it has a fantastic story, which not ideal.
