Description
Published in 1886, Kidnapped is a powerful and enduring work by Robert Louis Stevenson. Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite uprising of 1745, this novel tells the story of David Balfour, an orphan whose uncle plots to steal his rightful inheritance.
When David discovers his uncle's plan, he is sold into slavery on a ship bound for the Carolinas. However, fate intervenes when the Covenant gets lost in fog and strikes a smaller boat near the west coast of Scotland. From this unexpected turn of events, David forms an alliance with Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite rebel, and together they take control of the ship.
As David navigates his perilous journey to regain his inheritance, he must confront the dangers awaiting him at home and the political circumstances that threaten to overwhelm him. With its rich blend of English and Scots, Kidnapped is a gripping tale of survival and adventure that showcases Stevenson's mastery as a storyteller.
