An irresistible invitation to reject the work ethic and enjoy life's simple pleasures (such as laughing,drinking and lying in the open air),Robert Louis Stevenson's witty and seminal essay on the joys of idleness is accompanied here by his writings on,among other things,growing old,visiting unpleasant places and the overwhelming experience of falling in love. Throughout history,some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate,dissent,war and revolution. They have enlightened,outraged,provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers,pioneers,radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are
