Catriona

Catriona

USD $ 5,99

Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, David Wilkie and John Constable. David Balfour comes down from the heather with the Appin murder still unsolved, and finds that telling the truth in an Edinburgh court is harder than crossing the Highlands with a price on his head. Stevenson wrote the sequel to "Kidnapped" in Samoa, six years later, and gave the second half to a love story he had refused the first. Catriona Drummond is the daughter of an informer, and neither the law nor the lovers come out of it clean. Fifty-one plates after painters from Rembrandt to Wilkie, spanning 1640 to 1841, take in sheepwashing, a penny wedding and the dockyard at Portsmouth, the everyday Scottish and Dutch life that runs beneath the novel's courts and heather.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Autor

Edimburgo, (1850-1894). Robert Louis Stevenson, licenciado en derecho y escritor, fue uno de los exponentes más claros de la llamada novela-narración y del romance por excelencia. Su delicado estado de salud le llevó a viajar continuamente buscando climas favorables para sus pulmones enfermos, por lo que sus primeros relatos fueron, básicamente, una descripción de estas travesías. Su popularidad como escritor se fraguó gracias a los emocionantes argumentos de sus novelas fantásticas y de aventuras, en las que siempre aparecían contrapuestos el bien y el mal, a modo de alegoría moral que se servía del misterio y la aventura. Cantor del coraje y la alegría, Stevenson dejó una vasta obra llena de encanto, con títulos inolvidables.
