The Master of Ballantrae and Weir of Hermiston

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.
