Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson
Literature
Jul 31, 2018
On any list of the best adventure stories ever written, Treasure Island deserves a place at the top. Hewing to a taut narrative line that ripples with ominous vibrations, it pulls the reader headlong into a fantastic realm of pirates and buried treasure. Read the first few pages and see if you can stop. Its literary legacy is the exhilaration of pure adventure, and its imaginative one the romantic image of pirates that still animates popular culture (such as the Pirates of the Caribbean films), the essential elements of which—buried treasure, wooden legs, yo-ho- ho and all—made their first impression in Treasure Island.
