Robert Louis Stevenson 
The Master of Ballantrae [EPUB ebook] 

Unlike the ‚Rob Roy‘, the new historical novel written by Walter Scott ‚The Monastery‘ was taken by critics and readers rather cool. Nevertheless, the writer managed to brightly describe the dark and deaf Scotland during the tragic times of military defeat and at the same time – spiritual renewal, with the dying old religion and the emerging new, full political anarchy within the country and with the Scotch-typical thirst for political freedom. Pretty illustrations by Vladislav Trotsenko provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.
