He worked on the book in Tautira after his health was restored. The novel is presented as the memoir of one Ephraim Mackellar, steward of the Durrisdeer estate in Scotland. The novel opens in 1745, the year of the Jacobite rising. When Bonnie Prince Charlie raises the banner of the Stuarts, the Durie familythe Laird of Durrisdeer, his older son James Durie (the Master of Ballantrae) and his younger son Henry Duriedecide on a common strategy: one son will join the uprising while the other will join the loyalists. That way, whichever side wins, the familys noble status and estate will be preserved. Logically, the younger son should join the rebels, but the Master insists on being the rebel (a more exciting choice) and contemptuously accuses Henry of trying to usurp his place, comparing him to Jacob. The two sons agree to toss a coin to determine who goes. The Master wins and departs to join the Rising, while Henry remains in support of King George II. The Rising fails and the Master is reported dead. Henry becomes the heir to the estate, though he does not assume his brothers title of Master. At the insistence of the Laird (their father) the Masters heartbroken fiancée marries Henry to repair the Durie fortunes. Some years pass, during which Henry is unfairly vilified by the townspeople for betraying the rising. He is treated with complete indifference by his family, since his wife and his father both spend their time mourning the fallen favourite. The mild-tempered Henry bears the injustice quietly, even sending money to support his brothers abandoned mistress, who abuses him foully, and her child, who she claims is his brothers bastard.</p>...6743767The Master of Ballantrae: A Winters Tale129129https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-master-of-ballantrae--a-winters-tale-9783347641952/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6628569/image.jpg?v=638727603042270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229783347641952_W3siaWQiOiJkOWM3ZmZlZS04Mjg0LTQwNmUtYjJiZi01YzA0NjIyYTgwODAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTI5LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiQWdlbmN5IiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNS0wMS0xOFQwMzowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlfV0=9783347641952_<p>The Master of Ballantrae: A Winters Tale - Robert Louis Stevenson - The Master of Ballantrae: A Winters Tale is an 1889 novel by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, focusing upon the conflict between two brothers, Scottish noblemen whose family is torn apart by the Jacobite rising of 1745.
