Summary: "Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows David Balfour, a young man who, after the death of his father, embarks on a journey to reclaim his inheritance, only to find himself kidnapped and thrown into a dangerous adventure. As David navigates his way through the treacherous Highlands and encounters various figures from Scottish history, including Jacobites and his sinister uncle Ebenezer, the novel unfolds themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the quest for identity. At the start of the novel, David Balfour sets off from his home in the Forest of Ettrick after receiving a letter from his deceased father instructing him to visit his uncle Ebenezer at the House of Shaws. Accompanied by Mr. Campbell, the local minister, David expresses both trepidation and excitement about this new chapter in his life. Upon reaching his uncle’s estate, however, he finds dismal signs of ill-repute surrounding Ebenezer and the House of Shaws, including warnings from locals to avoid his uncle due to his notorious character. As David meets his uncle and attempts to deliver the letter, he quickly realizes the precariousness of his situation, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of deceit and danger that will dominate his journey.
