Treasure Island 129158

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850—1894) was the great master of English prose of Scottish origin, the representative of neoromanticism, the novel “Treasure Island” being the pearl of his creative work. The author in a masterly manner demonstrates that the jeopardies of the desert island, the vile tricks of covetous pirates and mysterious treasures — these very things are necessary for the young dreamer to take the most adventurous journey in his life. And the benevolence of the readers of many generations which made this book the classics of the world literature only proves the success of such a formula for adventures.
