Treasure Island

Sneaky pirates, sailing ships, buried treasure, exotic lands, and murderous mutiny! Robert Louis Stevenson serves up thrills, chills, and plenty of action in this timeless, and much-admired adventure novel. This edition contains extensive overviews of both the author and the novel with full Illustrations by e-Kitap Projesi. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is a tale known for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality — as seen in Long John Silver — unusual for children's literature now and then. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous, including treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen carrying parrots on their shoulders.
