Publisher Description
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure tale of piracy on the raging tropic seas
Masterfully crafted, Treasure Island is an unforgettable yarn of treachery that embroils a host of legendary swashbucklers from honest young Jim Hawkins to sinister, two-timing Israel Hands to evil incarnate, blind Pew. But above all, Treasure Island is a complex study of good and evil, as embodied by that hero-villain, Long John Silver; the merry unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy lust for gold cannot help but win the heart of every one who ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure.
Since its publication in 1883, Treasure Island has provided an enduring literary model for such eminent writers as Anthony Hope, Graham Greene, and Jorge Luis Borges. As David Daiches wrote: “Robert Louis Stevenson transformed the Victorian boys’ adventure into a classic of its kind.”

Treasure island
Good book
The best book ever
This is the most exciting book i'v ever read
I could read it times over and over and over again...!!!
Treasure Island
I tried to read the harder book with my daughter who is ten years old. We decided to switch to this book so we could understand it better. It was a terrific book and my daughter could really connect with the characters. Also, I couldn't define many of the words in the original version.I am not the kind of person who likes the pirate books but it was great anyway. I would call this book an easy reader, but that was okay.
Have fun with the TREASURE ISLAND!!!!!!
