Treasure Island follows the adventures of a cabin boy named Jim Hawkins on board the Hispaniola. Hawkins is in for the adventure of a lifetime, as he braves dangerous waters, lives through a mutiny, and searches for buried treasure. Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It is also noted as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality - as seen in Long John Silver - unusual for children's literature. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, 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.

Autorenporträt
The Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) is best remembered today for such classics as TREASURE ISLAND, STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, KIDNAPPED, and A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES. In addition to these well-known works, he was widely considered one of the nineteenth century's leading essayists. Suffering from chronic pulmonary illness, Stevenson's search for health and adventure led him to live in England, France, Switzerland, New York's Adirondacks, California, Hawaii, and Samoa, where he died at age 44.
