The Master of Ballantrae by Robert Louis Stevenson ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

The Master of Ballantrae by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.

Genre: drama

In the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite rising, the proud Durie family of Scotland makes a fateful choice to protect its estate: one brother, James Durie, outwardly supports the Crown, while the other, Henry, is sent to join the doomed rebellion. But when James, the charismatic and dangerous 'Master of Ballantrae,' returns from presumed death, the household is plunged into a long, bitter contest that stretches from bleak Scottish moors to the rough edges of colonial America and beyond. Told largely through the wary eyes of Ephraim Mackellar, the Duries' loyal steward, the story becomes a study in obsession, loyalty, and the corrosive power of rivalry. As James and Henry struggle for inheritance, influence, and identity, those around them are pulled into a tightening web of deception and escalating stakes. Stevenson blends historical detail with gothic intensity, exploring how pride and resentment can hollow out a family from within, and how the line between heroism and villainy can shift depending on who is speaking. What begins as a pragmatic split of allegiance grows into a relentless duel of wills, with the future of Ballantrae - and the souls of those bound to it - hanging in the balance.
