"The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 11" by Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book features David Balfour, a character thrust into complex political intrigue and personal peril following the events surrounding the Appin murder. Through Balfour's eyes, Stevenson explores themes of loyalty, identity, and justice against the backdrop of Scotland's tumultuous history. The opening of "Catriona," the primary work in this volume, introduces David Balfour as he steps into a new life as a landed heir after a tumultuous past. As he navigates the crowded streets of Edinburgh, he reflects on his recent fortune while feeling the weight of the dangers that still loom over him. He encounters Catriona Drummond, the daughter of a prisoner embroiled in conflict, prompting an immediate connection that intertwines their futures. Balfour's internal struggles are juxtaposed with the political landscape surrounding the Appin murder, setting the stage for a gripping tale of adventure, loyalty, and the quest for truth amidst perilous times.
