"Catriona" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a sequel to his earlier novel "Kidnapped," continuing the adventures of David Balfour. Set in 18th century Scotland, the narrative follows David as he navigates a complex web of political intrigue and personal loyalty. The story begins with David's newfound fortune and status, but he soon finds himself embroiled in the aftermath of the Appin murder, a politically charged crime that has left the country in turmoil. David's sense of justice and loyalty to his friend Alan Breck Stewart, who is wrongfully accused of the murder, compels him to take action. He seeks the assistance of various influential figures, including Mr. Charles Stewart, a lawyer, and Lord Advocate Prestongrange, to clear Alan's name and save James Stewart, another accused. Throughout his journey, David encounters a range of characters, including the enigmatic Catriona Drummond, who becomes a significant figure in his life. The novel explores themes of justice, loyalty, and the struggle for personal integrity amidst political chaos.

The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
One of the greatest books ever written! "Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm." In September of 1884, Robert Louis Stevenson, then in his mid-thirties, moved with his family to Bournemouth, a resort on the southern coast of England, where in the brief span of 23 months he revised A Child's Garden of Verses and wrote the novels Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. An intriguing combination of fantast thriller and moral allegory, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities -- one essentially good, the other evil -- for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveals Stevenson as a writer of great skill and originality, whose power to terrify and move us remains, over a century later, undiminished.

Treasure Island By Robert Louis Stevenson The Annotated Edition

release date: Apr 10, 2020
Treasure Island By Robert Louis Stevenson The Annotated Edition
"For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, ''the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.'' G. S. Fraser terms it ''an utterly original book'' and goes on to write: ''There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy.''

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

release date: Aug 20, 1999
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson originally wrote "Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde" as a " chilling shocker." He then burned the draft and, upon his wife''s advice, rewrote it as the darkly complex tale it is today. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, "Jekyll And Hyde" is a brilliantly original study of man''s dual nature -- as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror. Published in 1866, "Jekyll And Hyde" was an instant success and brought Stevenson his first taste of fame. Though sometimes dismissed as a mere mystery story, the book has evoked much literary admirations. Vladimir Nabokov likened it to "Madame Bovary" and "Dead Souls" as " a fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction." "From the Paperback edition."
