Summary: "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 12" by Stevenson is a literary work containing the novel "The Master of Ballantrae," likely written in the late 19th century. This tale unfolds the complex dynamics between two brothers, the Master of Ballantrae and Mr. Henry Durie, set against the backdrop of the Jacobite risings in Scotland. The narrative explores themes of rivalry, honor, and betrayal as the characters navigate personal and historical conflicts. At the start of "The Master of Ballantrae," a first-person narrator reveals their connection to the tragic history of the Durie family, outlining the strained relationships among the family members. The Old Lord Durrisdeer suffers in silence while his younger son, Mr. Henry, remains overshadowed by his older brother, the charismatic Master of Ballantrae. The tension escalates when the unresolved loyalties related to the Jacobite cause surface, leading to a conflict about who should fight for the Pretender. As the brothers part ways to take opposing sides, personal grievances surface, and the impact of their choices becomes evident, hinting at the tragic fates awaiting them and the ensuing narratives of revenge and destiny.
