Summary "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 20" by Stevenson is a collection of literary works likely compiled in the early 20th century. This volume primarily features "St. Ives," which tells the story of a French prisoner during the Napoleonic Wars, detailing his experiences and interactions while imprisoned in Edinburgh. The narrative navigates themes of honor, identity, and affection, particularly involving the protagonist's encounters with the young lady Flora. At the start of "St. Ives," we are introduced to the main character, a French soldier captured and imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. Despite the difficult circumstances, he finds solace in his ability to connect with the officers and other prisoners, engaging in activities that ease his captivity. He recounts how his proficiency in English aids him in forming relationships, one of them being with a noble and spirited young woman named Flora, who often visits the prison. The protagonist is captivated by her beauty, leading to the development of a romantic plotline intertwined with the challenges faced within the prison's walls. The opening chapters set up a suspenseful atmosphere of longing and rivalry, foreshadowing the complex relationships and conflicts that will unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
