Treasure Island

Robert Louis Stevenson · 1883

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic maritime adventure that follows young Jim Hawkins, who discovers a map leading to the legendary buried loot of the infamous pirate Captain Flint. Jim joins a funded expedition aboard the ship Hispaniola to recover the wealth, only to discover that their charismatic ship's cook, the one-legged Long John Silver, is actually a cunning pirate orchestrating a deadly mutiny. As the crew reaches the remote island, Jim must navigate betrayal, danger, and moral ambiguity to survive and secure the treasure. The novel established many of the enduring tropes of popular pirate lore, including treasure maps marked with an "X," deserted islands, and peg-legged sailors with parrots.
