Treasure Island

Treasure Island
Treasure Island is an adventure novel narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is a tale noted for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality -- unusual for children's literature. This is an extraordinary tale of the boy Jim Hawkins who came into possession of Captain Flint’s treasure map after a buccaneer took a room at his inn and later died. He planned a voyage to the Treasure Island to retrieve the treasure but unknowingly hired Flint’s former quartermaster as a crew. So what followed was chaos and mutiny and the treasure map continues to claim more victims. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.
