| Summary |
"The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 10" by Stevenson is a collection of fictional narratives written in the late 19th century. This volume includes the stories "The Misadventures of John Nicholson" and "Kidnapped," following themes of misfortune, adventure, and personal struggle. The opening portion of "The Misadventures of John Nicholson" introduces us to John Varey Nicholson, a rather unfortunate young man struggling against the ambitions of his strict father and societal pressures. As he navigates his life, John finds himself at a crossroads when he neglects his responsibility to deliver a large sum of money to the bank. Instead, he succumbs to temptation while spending time with a carefree friend, leading to a series of irresponsible choices that amplify his problems. The narrative sets the stage for John's growing misadventures, boldly addressing themes of parental expectations, youthful folly, and the consequences of one's actions.
