The Master of Ballantrae, Kidnapped, and In the South Seas
Two historical adventure novels from the author of Treasure Island, as well as a rare travel memoir of his experiences in the Pacific Islands.
The Master of Ballantrae
In this tragic tale of a family divided by the eighteenth-century Jacobite rising, two brothers join opposing sides of the conflict. The story follows their epic rivalry from Scotland to the high seas and the American wilderness.
Kidnapped
This adventure novel, inspired by true events in eighteenth-century Scotland, tells the tale of young David Balfour—who is betrayed by his uncle and kidnapped onto a ship, and survives shipwreck with his friend, the famous Jacobite Alan Breck Stewart.
In the South Seas
In the 1890s, Robert Louis Stevenson chartered a ship to the Pacific Islands and recorded his experiences and observations. This autobiography of his journey offers a rare window into the author''s real, adventurous life.
