Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.An Inland Voyage by Robert Louis StevensonIt is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson about a canoe trip through France and Belgium in 1876. It was one of Stevenson's first works and the first about travel.In his youth, Stevenson always wanted to be financially independent so that he could follow the woman he loved, and he set out to create his economic freedom by writing travel stories, the first being A Trip to the Continent, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879). and The Silverado Squatters (1883).Stevenson made his journey with his friend Sir Walter Grindlay Simpson, mainly along the Oise River from Belgium to France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Writer EmergesIn 1878, Stevenson saw the publication of his first volume of work, An Inland Voyage; the book provides an account of his trip from Antwerp to northern France, which he made in a canoe via the river Oise. A companion work, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879), continues in the introspective vein of Inland Voyage and also focuses on the voice and character of the narrator, beyond simply telling a tale.Also from this period are the humorous essays of Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881), which were originally published from 1876 to 1879 in various magazines, and Stevenson's first book of short fiction, New Arabian Nights (1882). The stories marked the United Kingdom's emergence into the realm of the short story, which had previously been dominated by Russians, Americans and the French. These stories also marked the beginning of Stevenson's adventure fiction, which would come to be his calling card.A turning point in Stevenson's personal life came during this period, when he met the woman who would become his wife, Fanny Osbourne, in September 1876. She was a 36-year-old American who was married (although separated) and had two children. Stevenson and Osbourne began to see each other romantically while she remained in France. In 1878, she divorced her husband, and Stevenson set out to meet her in California (the account of his voyage would later be captured in The Amateur Emigrant). The two married in 1880, and remained together until Stevenson's death in 1894.After they were married, the Stevensons took a three-week honeymoon at an abandoned silver mine in Napa Valley, California, and it was from this trip that The Silverado Squatters (1883) emerged. Also appearing in the early 1880s were Stevenson's short stories "Thrawn Janet" (1881), "The Treasure of Franchard" (1883) and "Markheim" (1885), the latter two having certain affinities with Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde (both of which would be published by 1886), respectively.

Book excerpt: Kidnapped is a historical fiction adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It was written as a boys' novel and first published in the magazine Young Folks from May to July 1886. It is a coming-of-age tale of a teenager named David Balfour from the Scottish Lowlands. When David, after the death of his parents, decides to leave his home to find his way to the world, he is given a letter by the minister of Essendean, Mr. Campbell, to be delivered to the House of Shaws in Cramond, where David's uncle, Ebenezer Balfour, lives. On arriving at the House of Shaws, David soon discovers that he is the actual heir to the estate and is confronted with the evil side of his uncle. Since then, his life experiences a heavy turmoil, and eventually, after being kidnapped, shipwrecked, haunted as an outlaw, and sick almost to death, David finds his way home to his rightful inheritance. Kidnapped is set around real 18th-century Scottish events, notably the "Appin Murder", which occurred in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745. The narrative is written in English with some dialogue in Lowland Scots, a Germanic language that evolved from an earlier incarnation of English.
