'Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.'
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island is the adventure that defined a genre. When young Jim Hawkins comes into possession of a mysterious map, he is drawn into a perilous voyage across open seas in search of buried treasure. What begins as a boy’s curiosity quickly becomes a test of courage as mutiny brews aboard the Hispaniola and the charming, dangerous Long John Silver reveals the many sides of loyalty and betrayal.
Packed with pirates, secret plots, and sudden reversals, the novel moves with relentless energy while asking sharp questions about trust, greed, and growing up. Clear-eyed and unsentimental, Treasure Island is a story about choosing who to follow, and when to stand alone.
