Description

David Balfour's quest for justice takes him from poverty to peril in this story of adventure and rebellion. Orphaned and penniless, he sets out to find his last living relative, only to be kidnapped and imprisoned on a ship bound for the Carolinas. After the ship is wrecked, David joins forces with Alan Breck, a fiery rebel, as they navigate treacherous Highland terrain in search of freedom. Through their contrasting perspectives, Stevenson dramatizes a conflict at the heart of Scottish culture in the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion. With its powerful characters and gripping narrative, Kidnapped is an unforgettable story that explores themes of identity, loyalty, and survival. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
