Kidnapped. Catriona

Robert Louis Stevenson rightly called one of the great masters of the adventure and detective genres. His novels, stories are read in one breath. His works are full of all sorts of conspiracies, duels, kidnappings, murders, sensational and other adventurous events. These are novels about the adventures of a brave David Balfour, heir to an old noble family, by the will of fate forced to wander around the world — from Edinburgh to the remotest uninhabited Pacific Islands. Pirates and robbers, shipwrecks, noble passion, and the war for the independence of Scotland, — the life of David Balfour, embodied in the two novels, "Kidnapped" and "Catriona", still excites the imagination of readers of all ages.
