Summary "Musta nuoli: Kertomus Ruusujen ajalta" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses, it follows the young protagonist Richard Shelton as he navigates a world filled with political intrigue, battles, and shifting loyalties. The central theme revolves around the conflict between the rival factions supporting the rival houses of Lancaster and York, with Richard finding himself caught in these dangerous dynamics. At the start of the story, we find ourselves in the village of Tunstall, where the sound of a bell draws the attention of locals, sparking curiosity and concern about impending conflict. Young Dick Shelton’s encounters with various characters, including Bennet Hatch and the old archer Nick Appleyard, foreshadow the challenges ahead as he learns of an imminent battle that would involve them all. The opening sets the stage for Richard’s journey as he grapples with issues of loyalty to his guardian, Sir Daniel, who is perceived as a duplicitous figure, and reflects on the fate of those around him as tensions rise. The narrative intricately weaves the personal with the political, hinting at the dangerous decisions Dick must make as he seeks to determine his own path in a world at war.
