Description
Treasure Island (1881 – 1882) by Robert L. Stevenson is part of the Adventurers Edition and tells the story of a journey from long ago. Stevenson had an indelible impact on this genre with simple and colorful language. His novel represents a peak of adventure literature and cemented a well-known and popular theme of adventure novels of the 19th century. In this story, young Jim Hawkins gets his hands on a map of an island where the greatest pirate of all time has buried his booty. Together with a baron, a doctor and a motley crew, Jim sets out to find this island. Everyone is out to get this treasure, and the story leads to a gripping competition between the heroic treasure hunters and the pirates dying to reach the island and its treasure.
