Book excerpt: Set in Scotland in 1751, Kidnapped tells of how young David Balfour, orphaned, and betrayed by his uncle Ebenezer who should have been his guardian, is kidnapped, and falls in with Alan Breck, the unscrupulous but heroic champion of the Jacobite cause. The novel revolves around their friendship and their differences, suggesting a metaphor for Scotland itself. Modern critics see the novel as more than a boy's adventure yarn; at the heart of it lies what Henry James described as the 'really excellent' chapters of the flight in the heather that raise the novel to greatness. The illustrations by William Hole are from the first edition, with an Afterword by Ned Halley.

Download or read book Kidnapped written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidnapped, like Treasure Island before it, was serialized in Young Folks, the boys' magazine. It is the most Scottish of Stevenson's novels in dialect, vocabulary, and worldview. Like Treasure Island, it follows the pattern of a popular genre, in this case the historical romance. Stevenson sets his story in 1751, five years after the defeat of a Scottish rebellion against the English-German King George II. King George has brutally "pacified" the Scottish Highlands, and Stevenson places his protagonist, David Balfour, in conversation with a principal agent of that pacification at the moment when that agent is assassinated (the assassination is a historical fact). Those who witness the assassination suspect Balfour of complicity, and he barely escapes with his life, fleeing for weeks across the Highlands in the company and under the protection of Alan Breck, the man who was historically (and in the novel) accused of the murder. Under the cover of orthodoxy, however, Stevenson does heretical things with the genre. Morally ambiguous characters abound. Balfour's kidnapper, a ship's captain, is an excellent seaman and dotes on his mother. David's uncle is a thoroughly unlikable character, but he suffers more than any other character in the novel. Alan Breck is a deserter and a turncoat, but he is unshakably loyal to Balfour, even at the risk of his life.

Download or read book Kidnapped (annotated) written by Robert Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidnapped was rated number 24 in the 100 best novels of all time by the UK's Guardian Newspaper, which declared it to be a masterpiece, a thrilling adventure story and gripping history.. Stevenson's electrifying narrative is intertwined with historical events and coloured with Scottish dialect. For those unacquainted with Scottish history and dialect, the book is annotated with notes on history and language. It also contains a glossary of 170 Scottish words and expressions. Do you know what Alan means when he says to David, "Ye have a ... clappermaclaw kind of a look to ye, as if ye had stolen the coat from a potato-bogle." Though some of the Scottish words are easily understood by those whose first language is English, there are many that are not. A chield is not a child; Jock is not a person's name nor a term for a Scot; a kyte is neither a bird nor something to fly in the wind. These expressions and many more are explained. This powerful novel is deceptive in its simplicity. It can be read and loved for its breath-taking storytelling, action and characterisation, but it also carries a message for the 21st century. One of the two central characters is David Balfour, a protestant supporter of the English King George ll. The other is Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite, loyal to the Catholic pretender to the throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Their common humanity results in a friendship that transcends politics and religion.
