    Ambientada en los eventos reales que siguieron al levantamiento jacobita de 1745, la novela "Secuestrado" de Robert Louis Stevenson narra la historia de David Balfour, quien viaja para encontrarse con su tío y reclamar su herencia tras la muerte de su padre. Traicionado por su tío, David es secuestrado por el capitán Hoseason del barco "Covenant", quien planea venderlo como esclavo en las colonias de Carolina. Sin embargo, el barco se desvía de su rumbo y regresa a Escocia, donde, en la niebla, choca con una pequeña embarcación y rescata al soldado escocés y jacobita Alan Breck Stewart. Con la ayuda de Alan, David logra escapar de sus captores y se encuentra en medio de la lucha entre los highlanders escoceses y los soldados del gobierno inglés. Atrapado en la naturaleza escocesa, David debe luchar por su vida y regresar a casa para reclamar su legítima herencia. A través de los personajes de Alan y David, se representa de manera aventurera el conflicto por la independencia escocesa del dominio inglés.

    Uncovering a governmental conspiracy to frame a friend for murder puts David Balfour on the run and striving to protect the woman he's come to love. Released with the title David Balfour when originally released in the United States, Catriona is Robert Louis Stevenson's follow-up to Kidnapped. David Balfour, hero of both books, is made a target by his willingness to testify in favor of a friend falsely accused of murder. His stubborn sense of justice will get him challenged to a duel in which he is clearly overmatched, plotted against, pursued and kidnapped once again. In the midst of the action a fledgling romance appears, as David meets the endearing Catriona, a woman more than a few readers have also been smitten with. Misunderstandings, conniving family members and outright villains combine to keep them from one another and their romance seems doomed before it begins. The story rolls along against a richly depicted historical backdrop of the 18th century, with the author stirring many historical characters, places, and even ships into his tale of adventure and long-suffering love rewarded at last. First published in 1893, Catriona was the last novel the author completed on his own before his untimely death at 44 years of age. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Catriona is both modern and readable.
