Sinossi
Pubblicato per la prima volta a puntate in young folks tra maggio e luglio 1886 e ora ristampato in un'edizione everyman nel centenario della morte di stevenson. Kidnapped è una storia d'avventura che è diventata il modello per qualsiasi thriller di fuga e suspense. Ambientato nel 1751, la fuga di david balfour e alan breck attraverso le highlands della scozia è basata su eventi reali. Attraverso scrisse il libro per fare soldi, mentre viveva come un invalido a bournemouth. Stevenson ne era orgoglioso; dedicò una copia di presentazione con il distico. Questa è l'unica pagina sana di tutti i miei scritti. Quella di cui sono orgoglioso e che mi delizia. Rowland hilder è famoso per i suoi dipinti della campagna inglese, ma il suo lavoro di illustrazione di libri copriva una tela molto più ampia. I suoi disegni per kidnapped furono pubblicati per la prima volta nel 1930 e sono stati ingiustamente, da tempo fuori stampa.

Informazioni sull?autore
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. Chronically ill with bronchitis and possibly tuberculosis, Stevenson withdrew from Engineering at Edinburgh University in favour of Studying Law. Although he passed the bar and became an advocate in 1875, he knew that his true work was as a writer.
Between 1876 and his death in 1894, Stevenson wrote prolifically. His published essays, short stories, fiction, travel books, plays, letters and poetry number in dozens. The most famous of his works include Travels With A Donkey in the Cevennes (1879), New Arabian Nights (1882), Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1887), Thrawn Janet (1887) and Kidnapped (1893).
After marrying Fanny Osbourne in 1880 Stevenson continued to travel and to write about his experiences. His poor health led him and his family to Valima in Samoa, where they settled. During his days there Stevenson was known as ‘Tusitala’ or ‘The Story Teller’. His love of telling romantic and adventure stories allowed him to connect easily with the universal child in all of us. ‘Fiction is to grown men what play is to the child,’ he said.
Robert Louis Stevenson died in Valima in 1894 of a brain haemorrhage.
