Treasure Island

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

"For sheer narrating delight and unadulterated experience, Treasure Island has never been outperformed. From the second youthful Jim Hawkins first experiences the vile Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic fight for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel makes scenes and characters that have terminated the minds of ages of perusers. Composed by an amazing exposition beautician, an ace of both activity and climate, the story communities upon the contention among great and wickedness - yet for this situation an especially captivating type of insidiousness. It is the villainy of that most equivocal maverick Long John Silver that sets the beat of this story of bad form, eagerness, and brave. Intended to perpetually ignite a fantasy of high sentiment and removed skylines, Treasure Island is, in the expressions of G. K. Chesterton, 'the acknowledgment of an ideal, that which is guaranteed in its provocative and alluring guide; a dream of white skeletons as well as green palm trees and sapphire oceans.'
