Recently I read Kidnapped to Yotam. I like that it's a book written over a century ago, talking about around a century earlier (and commenting on how much things have changed!), but it was also important because I tracked down the 1970 translation. The language is dramatically different and richer than, I think, what we have in today's adventure books (or any book).
Insightful, thanks.

I read that as a kid. It's a super book. Did you know R L Stevenson was a close friend of Henry James? Unlikely but true.
