The full truth of this odd matter is what the world has long been looking for, and public curi-osity is sure to welcome. It so befell that I was in-timately mingled with the last years and history of the house; and there does not live one man so able as myself to make these matters plain, or so desirous to narrate them faithfully. I knew the Master; on many secret steps of his career I have an authentic memoir in my hand; I sailed with him on his last voyage almost alone; I made one upon that winter‟s journey of which so many ta-les have gone abroad; and I was there at the man‟s death. As for my late Lord Durrisdeer, I served him and loved him near twenty years; and thought more of him the more I knew of him. Al-together, I think it not fit that so much evidence should perish; the truth is a debt I owe my lord‟s memory; and I think my old years will flow more smoothly, and my white hair lie quieter on the pillow, when the debt is paid.

A rhyme still current in the countryside-Kittle folk are the Durrisdeers,They ride wi' over mony spears-They ride wi' over mony spears-Twa Duries in Durrisdeer,Ane to tie and ane to ride,An ill day for the groomAnd a waur day for the bride.

The Master of Ballantrae Robert Louis Stevenson Author (1745)
ISBN: 9781504062664 bzw. 1504062663, vermutlich in Englisch, Open Road Media, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
The author of Treasure Island delivers a “colorful plot and tense family drama . . . You couldn’t ask for more fun in a novel—it even has pirates” (The Guardian). During the Jacobite Risings of 1745, two Scottish brothers battle for the family inheritance in what “is commonly regarded as [Robert Louis Stevenson’s] greatest full-length work” (The Atlantic). “[The Master of Ballantrae] has the adventurous spirit of Treasure Island, the romantic 18th-century Scottish setting of Kidnapped, the obsession with doubles and divided selves that makes Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde such a resonant parable, and a climactic image as horrific as that in The Body Snatcher. Its blend of historical romance, travel fantasy and gothic nightmare makes it deeply pleasurable.” —The Guardian “If a strong story, strongly told, full of human interest, and absolutely original in its situations, makes a masterpiece, then this may lay claim to the title.” —Arthur Conan Doyle.

Set in Scotland during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, in the exotic French Indies, and in the North American wilderness, the story has as its hero one of the most compelling yet horrifying studies of evil in nineteenth-century fiction-James Durie, Master of Ballantrae. The Master is about his infective influence-on his younger, less attractive brother Henry; on Henry's wife Alison; and on those narrators whom Stevenson so skilfully employs to present their experiences of this charming, ruthless, and evil man.
