Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney, February 25, 1890. Sir, -It may probably occur to you that we have met, and visited, and conversed; on my side, with interest. You may remember that you have done me several courtesies, for which I was prepared to be grateful. But there are duties which come before gratitude, and offences which justly divide friends, far more acquaintances. Your letter to the Reverend H. B. Gage is a document which, in my sight, if you had filled me with bread when I was starving, if you had sat up to nurse my father when he lay a-dying, would yet absolve me from the bonds of gratitude. You know enough, doubtless, of the process of canonisation to be aware that, a hundred years after the death of Damien, there will appear a man charged with the painful office of the devil's advocate. After that noble brother of mine, and of all frail clay, shall have lain a century at rest, one shall accuse, one defend him. The circumstance is unusual that the devil's advocate should be a volunteer, should be a member of a sect immediately rival, and should make haste to take upon himself his ugly office ere the bones are cold; unusual, and of a taste which I shall leave my readers free to qualify; unusual, and to me inspiring. If I have at all learned the trade of using words to convey truth and to arouse emotion, you have at last furnished me with a subject. For it is in the interest of all mankind, and the cause of public decency in every quarter of the world, not only that Damien should be righted, but that you and your letter should be displayed at length, in their true colours, to the public eye. To do this properly, I must begin by quoting you at large: I shall then proceed to criticise your utterance from several points of view, divine and human, in the course of which I shall attempt to draw again, and with more specification, the character of the dead saint whom it has pleased you to vilify: so much being done, I shall say farewell to you for ever. "Honolulu, "August 2, 1889.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Damien written by legendary author Robert Louis Stevenson -Letter about the catholic martyr Father Damien has attained the stature of a small classic. The Belgian priest's extraordinary devotion to the lepers of Molokai moved Stevenson to compose this impassioned answer to the despicable charges hurled against Damien. The Letter holds the reader with the incisive beauty of its diction, with its irony, its mockery, and its sarcasm. Measured in words, it is brief; but gauged in terms of the scene it evokes, the truths it states, the man it portrays, it is long. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote it with the same clear and accurate insight into human motives and the same depth of sympathy found in all of his great novels and essays. Many books and pamphlets have been written about Father Damien, but this Letter is surely the most profoundly moving work about his courageous, dedicated, inspiring life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Father Damien by Robert Louis StevensonFather Damien (Damien de Veuster, 1840-1889) was a Roman Catholic missionary from Belgium. He went to the leper settlement in Molokai in 1873, where he helped the sick with the disease. Damien himself contracted leprosy and died of it in 1889. Robert Louis Stevenson's pamphlet, Father Damien (March 1890) was a response to a letter from the Rev. CM Hyde published in The Presbyterian newspaper on October 26, 1889.In the letter, Dr. Hyde criticized Damien's work in the leper settlement, with which Stevenson was outraged. Robert Louis Stevenson was outraged that what he perceived to be Damien's selfless work with lepers could be censored.Robert Louis Stevenson's response was deeply contemptuous, attacking Hyde personally. In fact, his pamphlet was full of such vitriol, he was convinced (wrongly) that he would be sued for defamation.In Father Damien Stevenson he quotes long passages from Hyde's letter, refuting his statements point by point. For example, quoting Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson writes:
