“There are two things that men should never waery of,
goodness and humility” this quote is taken from the synopsis of the novel
entitled KIDNAPPED by Robert Louis Stevenson, this adventure genre novel tells
the story of a young man named David Balfour to take his inheritance and find
his place.
Starting with young David Balfour trying to find his uncle
for support, David is a pleasant figure in the course of this novel and he
experiences several tests in his adventure. But David is not alone in his
journey he is accompanied by his friends David's Jacobite and Alan Breck
Stewart.
Beginning after the death of David's parents, he is forced
to live with his mysterious uncle Ebenezer. When David accidentally discovers a
family secret that can change his life he is kidnapped and sold into slavery by
his own uncle, the only chance for David to escape is to follow Alan Breck who
is a warrior.
Then they fight together to help David get David's rights
back, but on his journey that is not easy he is also hunted by Ebenezer Balfour
because he wants to seize David's right to get his inheritance, the story ends
with David returning home and succeeding in getting his rights.
The novel is set in Scotland in the 18th century, depicting
adventure and suspense. Covering the post-Battle of Culledon political history
that highlights the tensions between the government and Jacobite supporters,
David and Alex's roles in the novel's greetings are very much about the
struggles of friendship. Some of David's experiences have also been betrayed by
my own friend whose problems have not been resolved until now.
The author's aim was to portray the individual experience of
betrayal and oppression, as well as the social and political nuances of
Scotland at the time, through the struggles of David and Alan. The book
received literary awards in its day and is recognized as a classic of English
literature, and is often studied in schools and universities and adapted for
film and theater.
