Catriona

Scottish-by-birth English writer Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) is remembered in literary history not only as a classic of neo-romanticism and author of adventure novels, but also as a subtle stylist and master of the psychological portrait. Romance of adventure is combined in his work with precise descriptions of exotic places and a genuine historical flavor.

The duology "Treasure Island"—"Catriona" describes events of the mid-18th century connected with the struggle of Scottish separatists against the English government.
