An English boy from the 18th century lives and tells in this book, a classic in its genre, an extraordinary adventure. Mixed with his friends with a crowd of buccaneers disguised as good people, and guided by the map that the boy took from the chest of a pirate who died in the family pension, they launch into the sea after the lure of the fabulous treasure buried by a band of self-styled gentlemen of fortune on that distant island described in the map. The vicissitudes of Jim Hawkins, Captain Smollet, Long John Silver and the rest of the crew of the Hispaniola meant for several generations not only the crystallization of the dreams of youth of adventures, but also the literary realization of the yearning for escapism that nests in every human being.
Nineteenth-century Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer, author of Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
