Kidnapped

Cartea autorului Robert Louis Stevenson „Kidnapped" de la editura HARPER COLLINS PUBLISHERS

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

`I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first.\\''

Orphaned as a young teenager, Lowlander David Balfour\\''s only relative is his guardian and uncle, Ebenezer. Ill-thought of and disliked by many, it\\''s not long before Ebenezer betrays his nephew and David finds himself trapped aboard a ship.

He soon strikes up a friendship with fugitive stranger and Scottish Highlander Alan Breck and becomes embroiled in the fierce Jacobite struggle against English rule. A tale of high-seas adventure, loyalty and fighting, the complex relationship between Alan and David stops Stevenson\\''s novel from becoming `just\\'' a boys adventure novel.
