Synopsis "Treasure Island"

"Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17-" ― Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island Treasure Island (1883) by Robert Louis Stevenson relates the story of Jim Hawkins, a young boy who watches over an inn at an English seaside town with his mother just as pirates descend on the inn. Jim and his mother escape from them when Jim finds a treasure map hidden inside a pouch. On attaining the map, Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, together with Jim, set sail for the treasure island in search of the treasure. However, they are unaware that the crew members they have hired, including the one-legged man Long John Silver, intend to take over the ship and the treasure.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
