Book Summary
Set at the time of the Jacobite uprising, The Master of Ballantrae tells of a family divided. James Durie, Master of Ballantrae, abandons his ancestral home to support the Scottish rebellion - leaving his younger brother Henry, who is faithful to the English crown, to inherit the title of Lord Durrisdeer. But he is to return years later, embittered by battles and a savage life of piracy on the high seas, to demand his inheritance. Turning the people against the Lord, he begins a savage feud with his brother that will lead the pair from the Scottish Highlands to the American Wilderness. Satanic and seductive, the Master was regarded by Stevenson as all I know of the devil; his darkly manipulative schemes dominate this subtle and compelling tragedy.This edition takes as its text the Edinburgh Edition of the novel, the last approved by the author. The introduction considers the novels inspiration and its place as one of Stevensons greatest studies in cruelty.

Studied Professional Writing At University And Went On To Work As A Freelance Writer And Web Designer. Publishing Books On Kindle Was A Hobby But Now I Wish To Grow It To Provide Entertainment For Everyone. I Wrote My First Novel At Age 3, Taking A Ream Of Paper And A Pen And Mimicking The Squiggly Writing That I Had Observed Grown-Ups Using. Okay, It Was Twenty Pages Of Scribbles, But To Me It Was The Great American Novel, And My Grandmother Seemed To Be Pleased With It. Today I Still Enjoy Writing Novels, Short Stories, Novellas, Screenplays, Stage Plays, And Lyric Plays. Perhaps The Mark Of The Writer Is Not What He Writes, But That He Writes. I Always Enjoyed Comedy, So My First Few Efforts Were Of A Comedic Nature, And I Will Always Instill Some Humor Even Into My More Serious, Mainstream Works. I Have Been Trying To Crack The Secret To Writing Classics; I Try To Read Mostly Authors Whose Works Have Remained In Print For Eighty Years Or More. Still, I Have Time For More Contemporary Works, Like Those Of Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, And Douglas Adams, To Name But A Few. I Think I May Have Struck Upon The Crucial Sequence, Plots, Characters, Writing Style And Everything To Keep Me Published For A Hundred Years Or More. Now I Just Need To Sell Some Books. I Have Recently Resettled In San Antonio, Texas, To Try To Remember The Alamo. No Matter How Deeply I Concentrate, It Still Feels A Little Before My Time.
