Kidnapped

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson is a gripping tale of adventure, betrayal, and survival set against the wild and turbulent landscape of 18th-century Scotland. Blending historical fiction with thrilling action, this timeless classic follows a young man's perilous journey toward identity, justice, and maturity.

The story centers on David Balfour, a naive but determined youth who travels to Scotland to claim his rightful inheritance—only to be betrayed by his own uncle and sold into captivity. Thrust into danger, David finds himself swept into political intrigue, clan conflicts, and a desperate struggle for freedom. Along the way, he forms an uneasy yet unforgettable bond with the bold and rebellious Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite outlaw whose courage and loyalty challenge David's beliefs and shape his character.

As the two men navigate treacherous terrain, evade enemies, and confront the harsh realities of power and allegiance, Stevenson paints a vivid portrait of Scotland's history, culture, and moral complexity. The novel balances fast-paced adventure with thoughtful reflection on honor, friendship, and the meaning of justice.

Kidnapped is more than a story of escape—it is a coming-of-age novel that explores courage under pressure and integrity in the face of corruption. Rich in atmosphere and unforgettable characters, it remains one of Stevenson's most beloved works and a cornerstone of classic adventure literature.
