Descrição da editora
An Apple Books Classic edition.
When Billy Bones first walks into Jim Hawkins’ family-run inn, the prevailing sentiments are fear…and curiosity about what’s in his oversized chest. After a band of rogue pirates comes looking for him, Billy dies, leaving Jim and his mother in possession of his belongings, which contain a map leading to the treasure of the dreaded Captain Flint.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s swashbuckling adventure story plays out on the high seas-and it’s packed to the gills with heart-pounding suspense, double crosses, mutiny, mayhem, and even murder. First published as a magazine serial in the 1880s, Treasure Island set the standard for action-adventure thrillers. Hop in and prepare for a wild ride, complete with peg-legged pirates and their trusted parrots, casks of rum, tropical islands, and X marks the spot!

Treasure, Pirates and Deserted Islands = 😄
The atemporal treasure hunt with maps marked by X, the iconic characters like Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver and the always present threat of dreadful pirates are all elements that made this book great. I can’t wait to read more works of Robert Louis Stevenson and find out if they are as good as this one. 8/10
