Produktbeschreibung

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.
