Sobre o livro

In 1751 David Balfour, seventeen and newly orphaned, walks to the house of Shaws to ask help of his uncle Ebenezer, who tries to have him killed on a broken staircase and then has him kidnapped onto a ship bound for the Carolinas, where he is to be sold. When the ship runs down a small boat, David meets Alan Breck Stewart, a proud Jacobite rebel, and after a fight in the roundhouse and a shipwreck the two flee across the Highlands, suspected of a murder, hunted by redcoats and quarrelling all the way.

Contexto e importância

Robert Louis Stevenson built the story around a real killing, the Appin murder of 1752, and published it in 1886; it is as much about Scotland after the Jacobite risings as about adventure. Mark F. Smith reads it alone, in about eight hours.
