Description
“”Kidnapped”” follows the adventures of David Balfour, a young man who sets out to claim his inheritance after the death of his father. David travels from his home in the Scottish Lowlands to the house of his uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws. However, upon arrival, David discovers that his uncle is scheming to cheat him out of his rightful inheritance. Ebenezer arranges for David to be kidnapped and sold into slavery on a ship bound for the American colonies. During the voyage, David befriends Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite rebel on the run after the defeat at the Battle of Culloden. When a mutiny breaks out on the ship, David and Alan seize the opportunity to escape and find themselves marooned on a remote island. Together, they form an unlikely alliance and embark on a perilous journey through the Scottish Highlands. As they travel, David and Alan encounter various dangers and obstacles, including treacherous terrain, hostile clans, and pursuit by British soldiers. Along the way, they form a deep bond forged through shared adversity and mutual trust. Their journey leads them to Edinburgh, where they become embroiled in the political intrigue of the time. David learns of his true heritage and confronts his uncle Ebenezer in a dramatic climax that resolves the mystery of his father’s death and secures his rightful inheritance. “”Kidnapped”” is not only a thrilling adventure story but also a coming-of-age tale that explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and the search for identity. Through David’s journey, Stevenson paints a vivid portrait of 18th-century Scotland and captures the spirit of adventure and resilience in the face of adversity. —- ISBN: 9798326307453
