Özet

In this spirited and romantic saga of high adventure, a young heir named David Balfour meets his miserly uncle Ebenezer, who has illegally taken control of the Balfour estate. Ebenezer kidnaps David and plots to have him seized and sold into slavery on a ship to the Carolinas.

A couple of days into the voyage, a shipwreck throws David together with Alan Breck, a roguish Scotsman returning from political exile in France, and the two of them journey together. When they are witnesses to a murder, suspicion falls on them. What follows is a thrilling escape to freedom across the wild Scottish highlands.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“One of the best-loved adventure books of all time.”

(The Guardian (London))

“One of the classic coming-of-age stories for children and young adults today.”

(School Library Journal)

“This tale of high adventure, told simply but colorfully, is woven around a true incident; Stevenson’s characters, from all classes, noble and ignoble, are skillfully drawn and develop convincingly as they pass through kidnappings, battles at sea, murders, and other adventures…David and Alan have contradictory points of view and antithetical sociopolitical commitments; yet they work together and form a lasting bond on the basis of friendship and loyalty that transcend their differences. Here is Stevenson the novelist at his best—forsaking dogma and eschewing ideology in favor of humanistic values. Stevenson was a master storyteller.”

(Masterpieces of World Literature)

“The workmanship was admired and the horrors were related with such charm and freshness, joined to refinement, that readers of fine taste found the work a source of genuine pleasure.”

(New York Times, 1894)

“A masterpiece.”

(Henry James)

A Very Enjoyable Scotish Historcal Novel

A rapid romp through the disasters that befall David Balfour, a character who it is very easy to like and engage with. He has just enough courage but fear to seem realistic. I would have preferred a narrator who is actually Scottish - on occasion he became posh home counties, at others Irish. The ending is not 100% satisfactory so you may like to also download Catriona, the follow up to Kidnapped to hear the continuation of David Balfour's life. One down side - a more detailed knowledge of Scottish history from this period would have made the story make more sense! But I muddled through.
