'Your bed shall be the moorcock's, and your life shall be like the
hunted deer's, and ye shall sleep with your hand upon your
weapons.' Tricked out of his inheritance, shanghaied, shipwrecked
off the west coast of Scotland, David Balfour finds himself fleeing
for his life in the dangerous company of Jacobite outlaw and
suspected assassin Alan Breck Stewart. Their unlikely friendship is
put to the test as they dodge government troops across the Scottish
Highlands. Set in the aftermath of the 1745 rebellion, Kidnapped
transforms the Romantic historical novel into the modern thriller.
Its heart-stopping scenes of cross-country pursuit, distilled to a
pure intensity in Stevenson's prose, have become a staple of
adventure stories from John Buchan to Alfred Hitchcock and Ian
Fleming. Kidnapped remains as exhilarating today as when it was
first published in 1886. This new edition is based on the 1895
text, incorporating Stevenson's last thoughts about the novel
before his death. It includes Stevenson's 'Note to Kidnapped',
reprinted for the first time since 1922. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over
100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest
range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
