Kidnapped. By Robert Louis Stevenson FULL Audiobook
Here's a detailed summary of "Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson:

Set against the rugged backdrop of Scotland in the year 1751, Kidnapped weaves a gripping tale of adventure, betrayal, and resilience. The story revolves around David Balfour, a seventeen-year-old orphan from the Lowlands, who embarks on a quest to seek his fortune.

1. David's Orphaned Status:
David's father, Alexander Balfour, recently passed away, leaving him bereft. His mother had also died earlier, rendering him an orphan.
Driven by a desire to carve out his destiny, David decides it's time to leave his familiar surroundings and explore the world.

2. The Revelation of Wealthy Origins:
Before departing for Edinburgh, David meets with his guardian, Mr. Campbell. To his astonishment, Campbell reveals that David has an uncle named Ebenezer Balfour, residing at the House of Shaws.
The House of Shaws carries an air of unpopularity, and Ebenezer himself is ill-regarded by the community. Nevertheless, David resolves to meet his wealthy relatives.

3. The Mysterious Uncle:
David walks for two days to reach Cramond, where the House of Shaws stands. His reception by Uncle Ebenezer is cold and unwelcoming.
Despite the chilly welcome, Ebenezer gives David nearly forty pounds, earning a modicum of respect. However, his behavior remains suspicious.

4. The Unexpected Kidnapping:
A cabin boy named Ransome arrives, sent by Captain Hoseason of the ship Covenant. Hoseason deals with some of Ebenezer's financial affairs.
Ebenezer decides to travel to the port of Queensferry with Ransome and David. Curious about ships, David agrees to accompany them.
Once aboard the Covenant, David's world turns upside down. The ship departs swiftly, leaving him unconscious and trapped in the dark storage deck.

5. Friendship and Rebellion:
On the ship, David befriends Alan Breck Stewart, a political rebel. Together, they navigate treacherous waters, both literal and metaphorical.
The novel unfolds as David grapples with betrayal, survival, and the complexities of loyalty.

6. Scotland's Larger Struggle:
Against the backdrop of David's personal journey, a broader conflict brews between Scotland's Jacobite Highlanders and the Whig Lowlanders.
Stevenson masterfully intertwines personal drama with historical upheaval, creating a rich tapestry of adventure and intrigue.

In Kidnapped, Stevenson captures the essence of Scotland's rugged landscapes, the clash of loyalties, and the indomitable spirit of its characters. As David fights for survival and seeks justice, readers are drawn into a world where honor, deception, and courage collide.
