Hacia tierras lejanas

The author of Treasure Island only published two books of poems during his lifetime, but left behind many unpublished works. To Distant Lands gathers a selection of the most representative verses of his simple and intimate poetry, written in a direct, realistic, and melancholic style. Plagued by an early illness, Stevenson wavered throughout his life between nostalgia and joy. Nevertheless, his verses conjure paradises of freedom, landscapes between dream and reality that enchant the reader with the same magic as those islands, treasures, and pirates that captivated us as children.
