Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson Book Summary

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book on 23 May 1883, it was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881 and 1882 under the title Treasure Island or, the mutiny of the Hispaniola with Stevenson adopting the pseudonym Captain George North.
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.

A Timeless Adventure. A wonderful story full of interesting characters on every level of gray the spectrum offers. It’s truly a story with nary a dry moment. It now ranks among my favorites, as does Robert Louis Stevenson as an author. This is my second of his in a row after “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and the man doesn’t disappoint. It’s helped me through this pandemic, escaping to the sea with Jim Hawkens, Dr. Livesy, Captain Smollett and of course, John Silver. Pop culture would have you believing this is a simplistic tale with little nuance when it’s anything but. The pictures painted by Stevenson’s words are both poetic and riveting to follow. I don’t know when I’ll visit Skeleton Island with the crew again but I know when I do, I’ll ask myself why I waited so long. Do yourself the favor.

Re-watching Disney's Treasure Planet As An Adult Inspired Me To Read This Book. This was a surprisingly entertaining read. The events of the story are quite different from what happens in Treasure Planet (Disney, 2002). What's great is that this novel is a unique adventure in itself and easy to read as well. I had a blast with this.

An amazing and satisfying pirate story. I don’t read much, and I never write reviews on anything, but this book is deserving of one. Definitely my favorite pirate story so far.

terriblr. not recommended.

loved it. amazing book

Good classic story. I really liked how the book actually read like a tale, how the main character told the story from his point of view. I admit that it took a long time for me to get through the book and I think the only reason I was able to do so while also having a fair understanding of the story is because I read the ebook on my phone and was able to highlight words and look up definitions while I was reading. The vocabulary, verbiage, and even grammar was so different back then and I had trouble keeping up at times. I enjoyed the plot twists and appreciated the fact that I actually laughed out loud a few times at the subdued yet clever humor. Overall, I am happy to have been able to finish this book, which I consider to be a classic historical piece, and put it on my virtual bookshelf.

I drank in every word. What a superb read ! I went over most passages twice, they were so enjoyable. Unbelievably rare that a book written in 1885 still has every word interesting and exciting to the modern reader. Long John Silver is an amazing character , and all the characters are well drawn - RLS had a superb knowledge of human mature. Read it - you will be glad you did!

As advertised. I have seen two movies based on this book that I have never read. This book is far better then any movie can give justice. Lots of twist and turns in he story.

Treasure Island. I give this book because it’s full of adventure and is a little mysterious. The characters are very unipue compared to each other because of their characteristics. I hope you come to enjoy the book as much as I did.

Treasure Or Pirates. On The Gold Ol’ Path to Riches... Treasure Island is a Boat Ride or Two in the Direction of Complete Chaos and A Fashionably Dressed Pirates Tale.

Gripping and Exciting!. “Although quite long it’s worth waiting for the end” Ethan (Aged 10).

Try it!!!!. This is a great way to calm yourself and helps with your mental health. Good for some people. Looking forward to my next book.

Treasure Island. Superb expressive tale, certainly not for the younger kids with all its complexities and bloodthirsty murders. My wife and I enjoyed it hugely, reading a couple of chapters a day. It is extremely well written, with every action leading onto the next, and making one wonder what will follow. A masterpiece of its kind, highly suitable for adults with imagination.

Do not like this!. It is bad and awful! Do not read!!!!! 0 STARS

Old favourite. Time to reread Robinson Crusoe.

Don’t get this version. This is pretty dry, made drier by the terrible voice of the reader.

Pieces of eight. A rollicking tale of Pirates and treasure. No wonder it is a classic.
