Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic adventure novel that transports readers to a vivid world of pirates, buried treasure, and high-seas escapades. The story unfolds through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, a young boy who stumbles upon a treasure map in the chest of a deceased pirate named Billy Bones. Determined to seek the hidden riches, Jim sets sail with a crew led by the enigmatic and one-legged Long John Silver.
The eponymous island is a mysterious and perilous place, shrouded in legends of the notorious Captain Flint’s buried loot. As the voyage progresses, the characters face treacherous seas, mutiny, and the cunning machinations of Long John Silver, a charismatic yet duplicitous ship’s cook. The island itself becomes a character, its landscape filled with secret caves, tropical vegetation, and the iconic “X marks the spot” where the coveted treasure lies.
