Synopsis "Secuestrado (in Spanish)"

A la muerte en 1751 de su padre, maestro rural, el joven David Balfour, aleccionado por el párroco del pueblo, que le entrega una carta del difunto para llevar en mano «al distinguido caballero Ebenezer Balfour de Shaws», emprende un viaje a casa de su tío con la perspectiva de mejorar su condición con una herencia inesperada. Pero su destino resulta ser una lóbrega mansión y el señor Ebenezer «un ser miserable, encorvado y estrecho de hombros, con una cara que parecía de arcilla». Con falsas promesas lo embarca en un bergantín, con la intención de venderle como esclavo. Narrada por su protagonista, con la elegante prosa de Robert Louis Stevenson, Secuestrado (1886) es una novela de padecimiento y recompensa.

Robert Louis Stevenson (Edinburgh, Scotland, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) is a Scottish writer, one of the great classics of 19th century literature. Master of adventure and fantasy novels, his work achieved popular and enduring success. Among his most famous titles are Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Black Arrow (1888), all of which have been translated into multiple languages and adapted numerous times for film, theater, and television. Due to his fragile health, Stevenson was a tireless traveler, also becoming a prominent travel essayist. He spent his last years in the Samoa Islands, where he died.
