British Literature, Science-Fiction & Fantasy, Short Stories

Nouvelles Mille Et Une Nuits, published in 1882 by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a collection of short stories that blend fantasy with modern themes, inspired by the classic Arabian Nights. The narratives follow Prince Florizel of Bohemia and Colonel Geraldine as they navigate bizarre adventures in 19th-century London, including encounters with a peculiar suicide club. The stories showcase Stevenson's wit and social commentary, exploring human nature, desires, and escapism through engaging character dynamics and fantastical elements.

“Now, we know that life is only a stage to play the fool upon as long as the part amuses us. There was one more convenience lacking to modern comfort; a decent, easy way to quit that stage; the back stairs to liberty; or, as I said this moment, Death’s private door.””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“Alas! in the clothes of the greatest potentate, what is there but a man?””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“... People trifle with love. Now, I deny that love is a strong passion. Fear is the strong passion; it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living. Envy me – envy me, sir,” he added with a chuckle, “I am a coward!””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“He felt ready to face the devil, and strutted in the ballroom with the swagger of a cavalier.””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“¿Acaso hay algo en la vida que decepcione tanto como lograr lo que se quiere?””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“Watch for the ace of spades, which is the sign of death, and the ace of clubs, which designates the official of the night. Happy, happy young men!” he added.””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“La gente juega con el amor. Pues bien, yo niego que el amor sea una pasión muy fuerte. El miedo sí lo es.””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“Pues bien, nosotros sabemos que la vida no es más que un escenario donde hacer payasadas mientras el papel nos divierta. A la comodidad moderna le faltaba todavía un adelanto: un modo fácil y digno de salir del escenario, una escalera trasera hacia la libertad; o, como he dicho hace un instante, la puerta secreta de la Muerte. Eso, mis dos compañeros de rebeldía, es lo que proporciona el Club de los Suicidas.””

— Robert Louis Stevenson

“Ai de mim, existe algo na vida tão decepcionante quanto realizar nossos desígnios?””

— Robert Louis Stevenson
