| Stevenson
was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on November 13, 1850. His father,
grandfather and great-grandfather were all notable lighthouse
engineers. It was from this side of the family that he inherited his
love of adventure, joy of the sea and for the open road. From his
mother, Margaret Balfour, he inherited weak lungs that kept him
constantly in "the land of the counterpane" during the winter. He entered the University of Edinburgh at seventeen, but soon discovered he had neither the scientific mind nor physical endurance to succeed as an engineer. When his father took him for a voyage he found—instead of being interested in lighthouse construction—that his mind was teeming with wonderful romances about the coast and islands which they visited. Although his father was stern, he finally allowed him to decide upon a career in literature—but first he thought it was wise to finish a degree in law, so that he might have something to fall back upon. Stevenson followed this course. He wrote many novels, short stories, poetry, travel guides and even songs, but today he is best remembered for his first novel, the pirate story "Treasure Island" (published in 1883); the Scottish adventure of the boy David Balfour in "Kidnapped" (1886) and this tale, "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" (also 1886). He was greatly admired by many authors, including Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, and J. M. Barrie. For the last five years of his life he lived on the island of Upolu in Samoa, becoming embroiled in the colonial politics of the island. He died, probably of a cerebral haemorrhage, on 3 December 1894, at the age of 44 and was buried in his favourite location on Upolu overlooking the sea. |
He has also been a part-time dramatic and comic actor with local theatre companies in Sydney and the Gold Coast. But it was his consistent and award-winning performances on radio that made him so well known to hundreds of thousands of Australian listeners from 1979 to 1997. As a newsreader on Sydney’s 2GB and 2UE, later as news director and current affairs commentator on Adelaide’s radio 5AD and 5DN, Shane Sody established a reputation as one of Australia’s authoritative radio voices. He has been narrating and producing audio books for sale on eBay since March 2005. |
