Les Aventures de David Balfour (Pocket Book)

The historical backdrop adds so much flavor to the story, but I wonder if Stevenson had specific events or settings in mind when creating this world.

The tension ramps up again with the adventure, but those quieter moments made me curious if they were necessary or if they reflect the era's atmosphere.

His personal history might have shaped how he depicts David’s growth. I wonder what parts of the story are drawn from his own life or beliefs.
