Catriona, first published in 1893, is the sequel to Kidnapped and continues the adventures of David Balfour and his friend Alan Breck. Balfour returns to the city in order to defend Breck against false charges in the Appin murder. In so doing, he becomes a pawn in a game between feuding Scottish clans; he also sets eyes on a young woman whose involvement in the same matter becomes as central to his actions as his desire to vindicate his comrade in arms.

The year is 1745, and Prince Charlie of the defeated royal house of Stuart, has just returned to Scottish soil. A weighty choice faces every Scottish man. Should he stitch a white cockade to his hat and join the fight to restore James, Prince Charlie's father to the British throne? Or should he stay at home and back George II, the reigning king? One Lowland family, the Duries of Durisdeer and Ballantrae, believe they've found a clever way to sidestep the decision.

There is something wrong about the Spanish residencia on the hill. Some disregard it as only a house with a mad woman with her two children. Others claim that unspeakable things happen at night, when the house is in the shadows.

First conceived during a rainy summer holiday in the Highlands of Scotland in an attempt to amuse his stepson, Treasure Island began with the map. Young Lloyd Osbourne had drawn a crude version of an island, and Stevenson, looking over the boy's shoulder, began to elaborate, christening various curves and smudges the famed names of Skeleton Island and Spyglass Hill and finally adding the three red crosses marking the buried treasure.

In the foggy streets of London, two men - one a respectable doctor and one a depraved killer - become mysteriously entangled. Robert Louis Stevenson’s psychological thriller, which brought the idea of the split personality to the public’s attention, is voiced by former Doctor Who Tom Baker. The tale of Dr Jekyll’s decline into his murderous alter-ego, Mr Hyde, retains its capacity to probe the evil that exists in humankind.

A young medical student named Fettes is assisting his professor in procuring cadavers to be dissected by his fellow students. He knows many of the bodies that are sold to him were stolen from graves - but he needs his job and keeps his silence. To remain silent, however, is to invite worse trouble. Late one night there is a knock at the door and another cadaver is delivered to Fettes - one he recognizes. It's Jane Galbraith, a woman Fettes had seen alive and well only a day before.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a haunting exploration of the dual nature of humanity. Set in Victorian London, the novella follows the respected Dr. Henry Jekyll, who develops a potion that allows him to separate his darker impulses into a new identity—Mr. Edward Hyde. As Hyde, he indulges in increasingly violent and immoral behavior, eventually spiraling out of Jekyll's control. Through suspenseful narrative and psychological depth, Stevenson delves into themes of good versus evil, the masks we wear, and the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition.

Als Fettes jedoch ein vertrautes Gesicht auf dem Seziertisch entdeckt, beginnt ein Albtraum aus Schuld, Gier und übernatürlichem Schrecken.
