Description

“Treasure Island” is a dynamic novel about pirates and adventures. The story takes place among the islands of the Caribbean Sea. If you want, you can find them on a map. The book draws you into pirate symbolism: a black spot, rum, talking parrots, an anchor rope… The sea becomes close and familiar, and pirate life becomes a second reality. After such a book, you feel like playing pirates — and the impression lasts a lifetime. Brawls, killings, battles — there’s more than enough of all that. However, this cruel world of “sea wolves” is shown to the reader through the eyes of a boy, Jim. And in adolescence, romance is an integral part of one’s worldview.

The novel was written by R. Stevenson while he was bedridden. The author gave full reign to his imagination. Adventures pour onto the heroes’ heads like from a horn of plenty.

In this pirate epic, justice triumphs. Hidden treasures go to those who are bold and honest. And the vile and cowardly are left with nothing.

The novel has been filmed many times. It’s real classics. Although R. Stevenson wrote it more than a hundred years ago, it continues to light a fire in young hearts and makes adults long for the past.
