The Master of Ballantrae and Weir of Hermiston
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Birlinn
ISBN: 0857907077
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novels of travel, romance and adventure. The Master of Ballantrae takes a deep, disturbing turn after Kidnapped and Catriona, with its tale of rival brothers caught in a web of hatred, obsession, love and betrayal which draws them to adventures in frozen wastes of North America. Stevenson's fascination with the divided nature of the human self, so famously demonstrated in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, recurs in Weir of Hermiston with its awful father-son confrontation.

Weir Of Hermiston
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849642682
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Mr. Henry James, speaking of the quarrel between Alan Breck and David Balfour in Kidnapped, declares that he knows of " few better examples of the way genius has ever a surprise in its pocket — keeps an ace, as it were, up its sleeve." And in Weir of Hermiston we have a surprise of an even higher order from Stevenson's pocket; that pocket which during his lifetime seemed like the proverbial small boy's—almost inexhaustible, stuffed full of a delightfully heterogeneous mass, sometimes of jingling trinkets, and sometimes of the oddest and rarest treasures. It may seem rash to declare a half-finished and half-revised book the greatest achievement of an author who had so high a passion for finality as Stevenson, but many will unhesitatingly declare Weir of Hermiston Stevenson's best book.
