The Master of Ballantrae is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1907. The story is set in Scotland during the mid-eighteenth century and follows the lives of two brothers, James and Henry Durie, as they struggle for power and control over their family estate, Ballantrae. James is the elder brother and the titular ''Master'' of the estate, while Henry is the younger, less ambitious brother. As the story unfolds, James becomes increasingly tyrannical and cruel, while Henry remains loyal to his family and their values. James is eventually banished from the estate due to his actions, and he spends the rest of his life seeking revenge on his brother and attempting to regain control of Ballantrae. The novel explores themes of power, loyalty, betrayal, and family dynamics. It is widely regarded as one of Stevenson’s most complex and nuanced works, and has been praised for its vivid characters, intricate plot, and atmospheric setting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
