Treasure Island. Fables

A young boy poring over a map on a rainy afternoon.
An old sea-chest full of tobacco, pistols
and doubloons. A parrot named "Cap'n Flint" after
the famous buccaneer. A blind man's stick tapping
upon a frozen road. A black spot on a paper meaning
death. A schooner named Hispaniola... Those
are some of the most unforgettable and exciting
images derived from Treasure Island, the most
famous adventure novel ever written.
Stevenson wrote the novel in order to meet the
demands of his stepson who longed for a "story for
boys". When it was published in 1883, it met with
immediate success. Today, Treasure Island can also
be read as a tale of lost innocence, thereby
announcing William Golding's Lord of the Flies
(1954).
