Kidnapped - Catriona - The Master of Ballantrae - Weir of Hermiston
These four great novels take us deep into Robert Louis Stevenson's
imaginative and bitter-sweet relationship with his native country.
Kidnapped, and its sequel Catriona, are renowned the world over as
supreme stories of adventure and romance. On another level they
also explore the subtle divisions of Scottish history and character
in the eighteenth century, and (some would say) the present day.
The Master of Ballantrae takes a darker and more disturbing turn,
with its tale of rival brothers caught in a webof hatred,
obsession, love and betrayal which draws them to their end in the
frozen wastes of North America. Stevenson's fascination with the
divided nature of the human self (most obviously demonstrated in Dr
Jekyll and Mr Hyde) appears again in the Weir of Hermiston with its
terrible confrontation between a father and his son. With an
unsurpassed combination of physical adventure and psychological
insight, The Scottish Novels have moved and thrilled readers and
writers from Stevenson's contemporaries to the present day.
