Summary "Ryöstölapsi: Kertomus David Balfourin seikkailuista" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character David Balfour, who embarks on an adventure that includes being wrongfully kidnapped, shipwrecked, and navigating the dangers of the Scottish Highlands. As he seeks to uncover his heritage and confront his treacherous uncle, readers are taken on a journey rich with intrigue and high adventure. At the start of the novel, David Balfour reflects on his departure from his childhood home following the death of his parents. Under the guidance of Mr. Campbell, a family friend, he travels to meet his wealthy relatives at Shaws, as instructed by his father’s will. However, upon arriving at Shaws, David discovers an ominous reputation surrounding his uncle Ebenezer, who is said to be a cruel and reclusive figure. As the opening chapters unfold, David's initial hopes are met with unsettling warnings from the townsfolk, setting the stage for his trials and adventures as he confronts both familial treachery and his quest for identity.
