Treasure Island
352 pages · First published 1882
Young Jim Hawkins discovers a pirate’s treasure map among the belongings of a mysterious seaman who dies at his family’s inn. He joins an expedition to a distant island, unaware that much of the crew has been recruited by the charismatic one-legged cook Long John Silver. Mutiny turns the treasure hunt into a struggle for survival in which Jim must decide when to trust his instincts and when appearances are dangerously misleading. Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure established many enduring pirate-story conventions while giving its villain enough intelligence and charm to make loyalty far more complicated than a simple division between heroes and rogues.
