Àííîòàöèÿ: When David Balfour is orphaned at the age of seventeen he learns of the existence of an unknown uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws. Arriving at Shaws with an introductory letter his father had entrusted to the rector, he finds a miserly uncle in a dilapidated mansion. He is tricked into boarding a ship at Queen's Ferry and is kidnapped to be sold into slavery in America. He meets Alan Breck Stewart, a hunted Jacobite, and when the ship is wrecked they are hunted across Scotland till Davie finds his fortune.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Although many excellent collections of short stories for high schools are already available, there seems still to be a place for a book of selected stories that will provide a definite plan for the study of the short story as a type of literature. The introductory chapters offer a text for studying the development of the short story and its present form. Part I, the bulk of the text, contains modern short stories for study. Each story is equipped with (1) an introduction containing necessary information about the author and his work; (2) a set of general questions designed rather to help the student learn than to test his learning; and (3) a problem developing some particular aspect of the short-story form.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, travel writer, and essayist. He was a celebrity during his lifetime for works like "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Treasure Island." Now he is one of the most translated authors in the world. "Catriona" starts right where the previous novel "Kidnapped" ends, continuing the story of David. Now he tries to clear the names of his friends of involvement in the murder of Colin Campbell of Glenure. The political climate after the "Appin murder" makes David's situation almost hopeless. He tries to find a path that will save Alan, James of the Glens and out of the hangman's noose.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Hyde depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities - one essentially good, the other evil - for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveals Stevenson as a writer of great skill and originality, whose power to terrify and move us remains, over a century later, undiminished.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Compact anthology features many of the best works by 59 poets writing in English - from the complex rhyme schemes of Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser and Shakespeare's lovely sonnets to William Blake's visionary works and John Keats' profound insights into the nature of beauty, art, and mortality. Includes an introduction and brief commentaries on the poets represented

Àííîòàöèÿ: This collection contains works by such writers as Poe, Hawthorne, Gaskell, Dickens and M. R. James, alongside that of anonymous authors from Britain to America. It brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Master of Ballantrae features some of Robert Louis Stevenson's best writing. The tale opens in the old Scottish castle of Durrisdeer, the ancestral home of the Durrie clan, and then moves to India, France, and the American Adirondacks. The Master of Ballantrae draws readers into a fast-paced adventure that encompasses sea voyages and encounters with pirates. Unabridged republication of a standard edition
