Robert Louis Stevenson wrote this book in 1881 and it soon became a children’s classic. But today it is even more than that: this novel is considered one of the greatest milestones in English-language literature, a coming-of-age story that resonates with both children and adults. Pervaded by extreme adventures, fights and traps, bloody deaths, drifting boats amid, terrifying storms and stunning discoveries, it all begins with the death of Billy Bones, owner of a key to a fortune.
After his death, young Jim Hawkins stumbles upon the old pirate’s map for the legendary Treasure Island. But the path to getting there, after assembling a crew full of memorable characters, won’t be easy, as a series of deadly villains, wild beasts and savages are ready to stop Hawkins from getting to this fortune. And if Jim wants to find the treasure buried by the iconic Captain Flint, he must also defeat the most famous pirate on the high seas.
