Kidnapped - Bok av Robert Louis Stevenson - Inbunden

The political situation of the time is portrayed from different viewpoints, and the Scottish Highlanders are treated sympathetically. If you ever read this tale, you will likely ask yourself more questions than I should care to answer: as for instance how the Appin murder has come to fall in the year 1751, how the Torran rocks have crept so near to Earraid, or why the printed trial is silent as to all that touches David Balfour. These are nuts beyond my ability to crack. But if you tried me on the..

The captain, for his part, stood staring at the signboard like a bewildered man. Then he passed his hand over his eyes several times and at last turned back into the house. \Jim,\ says he, \rum\; and as he spoke, he reeled a little, and caught himself with one hand against the wall. \Are you hurt?\..

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Bok av Robert Louis Stevenson - Inbunden

\The most racking pangs succeeded: a grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death.

There was something strange in my sensations, something indescribably new and, from its very novelty, incredibly sweet. I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of a heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images..
