Book Description:
Treasure Island is Robert Louis Stevenson’s swashbuckling adventure of pirates, treasure maps, and high-seas danger — a timeless tale that defined the golden age of piracy in fiction. When young Jim Hawkins discovers a map hidden in a sea chest at his family’s inn, he’s swept into a daring voyage to a mysterious island in search of buried treasure.
But aboard the Hispaniola, loyalties shift and danger looms, especially in the cunning figure of Long John Silver — a one-legged cook with a silver tongue and secret plans of his own. As mutiny brews and the treasure hunt begins, Jim must navigate treachery, bravery, and the thin line between hero and villain.
Fast-paced, vividly drawn, and endlessly influential, Treasure Island remains one of literature’s greatest adventure stories — a thrilling journey into the heart of danger and discovery.
