Synopsis "The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses (in English)"

https: //fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fl%C3%A8che_noire The Black Arrow (The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses) is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Serialized in Young Folks' teen magazine from 30 June to 20 October 1883, it was published in volume at Éditions Scribner in 1888. The story takes place in the 15th century in England during the turbulent period of the War of the Two Roses. The young hero, Richard "Dick" Shelton, discovers that the person responsible for the murder of his father is none other than his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley. He joined the ranks of the Black Spire outlaws in Tunstall Forest to accomplish his vengeance and save Jeanne Sedley, the elect of her heart that Sir Daniel wants to marry to another. At the end of many adventures, he was made a knight by the one called Richard III of England and saw the assassin of his father undergo a well-deserved punishment, before convolving in marriage with his beloved.

(Edimburgo, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) Novelista, cuentista, poeta y ensayista británico. Ingresó en la Universidad de Edimburgo cuando tenía dieciséis años para poder seguir los pasos de su padre y convertirse en ingeniero de faros, de lo cual desistiría. Sus estudios de náutica, le permitieron entrar en contacto con las gentes y costumbres marineras, ingredientes fundamentales en algunas de sus obras más conocidas. Su famosa obra, La Isla del tesoro, la publicó bajo el seudónimo de Captain George North en 1881. En 1886, llegaría El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura. Murió en la Isla de Samoa, en su casa, Vailima.
