'there were only seven out of the twenty-six on whom we knew we
could rely; and out of those seven one was a boy ...' When a
mysterious seafarer puts up at the Admiral Benbow, young Jim
Hawkins is haunted by his frightening tales; the sailor's sudden
death is the beginning of one of the most exciting adventure
stories in literature. The discovery of a treasure map sets Jim and
his companions in search of buried gold, and they are soon on board
the Hispaniola with a crew of buccaneers recruited by the
one-legged sea cook known as Long John Silver. As they near their
destination, and the lure of Captain Flint's treasure grows ever
stronger, Jim's courage and wits are tested to the full. Stevenson
reinvented the genre with Treasure Island, a boys' story that
appeals as much to adults as to children, and whose moral
ambiguities turned the Victorian universe on its head. This edition
celebrates the ultimate book of pirates and high adventure, and
also examines how its tale of greed, murder, treachery, and evil
has acquired its classic status. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
