Treasure Island
(eBook)
Featuring characters like Billy Bones, Captain Smollett and Long John Silver, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island became a popular young adult adventure novel upon its first publication in May of 1883.
Narrated by Jim Hawkins, a young man yearning to lead a life of adventure, the novel follows his journey meeting Billy Bones, joining the crew of the Hispaniola, and being bamboozled by the wily pirate Long John Silver.
While studied for its coming-of-age plot and commentary on the vagueness of moral right and wrong, the novel is best known for its influence on society's modern interpretations and perceptions of pirates and pirate life. Treasure maps marked with large "X"s, peg legs, parrots on shoulders, and the curse of the Black Spot are just a few of the characteristics from the book that have carried on and remain popular beliefs today.
