First published in 1886, Kidnapped is Robert Louis Stevenson's historical adventure set in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745, following the journey of David Balfour through the Scottish Highlands.

The novel begins with David's departure from his Lowland home to seek his inheritance, only to be betrayed and carried off at sea. Escaping shipwreck on the western coast of Scotland, he encounters Alan Breck Stewart, a fugitive of the Jacobite cause, and the two form an uneasy but enduring alliance. Their passage through the Highlands unfolds against a landscape still marked by political division and cultural tension, giving the narrative both immediacy and historical depth.
