Préface de François Angelier
Illustrations de Donatien Mary
En 1745, l'Écosse se déchire entre les partisans du prince Charles, déchu du trône d'Angleterre, et ceux du roi George, qui lui a succédé. Dans la famille des Durie, nobles provinciaux, on s’affronte aussi : le fils aîné, James, s'engage aux côtés du rebelle, qui sera battu au milieu d’Écossais humiliés, quand son cadet Henry se voit obligé d’administrer le domaine. Disgracié et ayant perdu son rang, le libertin batailleur en rend injustement responsable son frère aussi vertueux qu’orgueilleux. Une implacable lutte fratricide va s’engager qui semble mettre en présence les figures du Bien et du Mal, entraînant le lecteur dans une course haletante, entre vengeance et impossible rédemption, poursuites et incroyables résurrections.
Avec un art et une maîtrise absolus, Stevenson dévoile dans ce roman souvent considéré comme son plus noir chef-d’œuvre, toute la complexité et l'ambiguïté de personnages consumés par une haine fraternelle.
Écossais, Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson, né en 1850 dans une famille d’ingénieurs célèbres pour leurs phares, abandonne ses études pour se consacrer à l’écriture. Malade depuis l’enfance, de santé fragile, il parcourra le monde à la recherche d’un climat clément, ses voyages lui inspirant quelques-uns de ses grands romans. Le succès lui vient avec L’Île au trésor (1883) et Docteur Jekyll et Mister Hyde (1885). Très productif et admiré, il accumule les écrits, notamment les nouvelles, jusqu’à sa mort prématurée en 1894, aux îles Samoa où il vivait avec sa femme Fanny. La postérité lui réservera une place exceptionnelle, reconnaissant en lui un génie qui ne cessera plus d’inspirer ses successeurs.
Le Maître de Ballantrae, que Stevenson commença à écrire en 1887 lors d’un séjour dans les Adirondacks et qu’il emportera dans ses déplacements, fut d’abord publié en feuilleton avant une parution en volume le 20 septembre 1889 sous le titre The Master of Ballantrae : A Winter’s Tale.
"Le battement de cœur le plus intense de ma vie littéraire m'a été provoqué par Le Maître de Ballantrae - un cristal aussi pur que dur, une œuvre d'un art ineffable et exquis" salua Henry James, son ami de toujours, auquel les prénoms des deux protagonistes rendent hommage.
