Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of an engineer, Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.

    Another novel whose ideas have become so prevalent in the genre that it is hard to appraise as what seems trite now was seminal when the novel was written. An enjoyable adventure story and Long John Silver is a surprisingly nuanced character for this type of story.

    Certainly a classic - Treasure Island first captivated me as a child, and did not fail to hold my attention now as an adult. Like many books I've read again as I've grown older, there were things I understood better, plot twists I could see but that nonetheless took me on a wildly exciting adventure like the one of my youth. I think this will always be a favorite for me - I love pirates, and the ones in Treasure Island were my very first taste of them. Not the ninnies or idiots of more recent pirate movie standards, these are true swashbuckling terrors, and I will always admire Jim for his adventurous spirit.

    Never having been a fan of the pirate genre I entered communication with Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, one of its pillars, with some trepidation especially since as the author’s biographer Claire Harmon notes like his Jekyl and Hyde, it’s so well known that it hardly requires being read at all, “Long John Silver is more real to most people than any historical buccaneer.” I’d like to offer a narrative of rediscovering the genre, but young Jim Hawkins is such a greedy, repellent narrator and the various pirates so difficult to understand and the story points so subtly telegraphed, I was less thrilled than appalled. That Silver and Gunn are the most entertaining figures it does go without saying, but as Harmon hints because their old bones have been resurrected so many times since, the original now seems prosaic and slothful. But such things are not Stevenson’s fault, of course.

    The shortest form of this book which I ever read. Classic story about pirates, treasures on an uninhabited island, adventures. The first time I read this story when I was 10-year-old, right now I back to this book to improve my English, but I prefer whole story, so I hope- I'll read them soon.

    Treasure Island is a classic pirate adventure story! I recently watched the 2012 TV movie "Treasure Island," and since I had not read this story as a kid, decided to read it as an adult. I can't believe I missed out on this adventure as a kid! The descriptions of the pirates and of life at sea and on the island are vivid and imaginative. The character Jim Hawkins is relatable and likeable. Definitely a fun bedtime story for kids - and adults!

    Come and join us in a wonderful adventure story. Pirates, parrots, treasure maps. One of the most complicated villains in all of Victorian literature. An exotic setting, an exotic time frame. Who could ask for more?At a coastal inn, a mysterious and somewhat evil man takes up residence. Soon he’s pursued my creepy foes. What ensues is the most influential pirate story ever. Stevenson was admittedly aiming at a young male audience, but a reader would need to be unimaginative in the extreme not to get caught up in Jim Hawkins’ adventures on the high seas. Definitely recommended.

    The classic tale receives illustrations it deserves! Outstanding story of mystery, intrigue, deception and treasure of course. The characters are fun: Jim Hawkins the boy, appears to be out of his league yet manages to overcome all obstacles. Long John Silver is a study in opportunism and deception.It's an excellent tale that should be read and re-read!

    I know this is a classic and a must read for all children, but I'd never read it until now. The book stars Jim Hawkins, son of an inn keeper, who acquires a treasure map and sets out to find his fortune. Along the way he teams up with various characters, including Dr Livesey, Long John Silver and Ben Gunn. There are lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing what will happen next. Of course the ending is predictable (they get the treasure) but it's what happens along the way that makes this a great children's adventure. In my book the level of violence makes it unsuitable for reading to younger children, best wait until they are old enough to read it themselves.

    Treasure Island is perhaps THE classic pirate's tale. Robert Louis Stevenson, the author, created a rich story of adventure and treachery on the high seas all seen through the eyes of a boy named Jim Hawkins. Jim starts off as the son of tavern owners in a humble little port village. When an old seaman stays at the tavern, trouble soon follows him in the form of a pirate crew seeking revenge. I will not give away any more specific plot points, but events move forward to a great treasure hunt, treachery, and a surprisingly engaging story for adults as well as children.

    Fun and wonderfully told adventure story. It’s amazing how much of piracy in pop culture owes to Robert Louis Stevenson.

    Ah, what a pleasure to read literary writing after several modern books full of tripe! My kids also enjoyed it and retained even more of it than I did with their young, spongelike minds. I've apparently made the right choice to feed them a steady diet of books rather than screens. I, on the other hand, spend way too much time on screens. "Do as I say, not as I do," my dad used to say as he ate graham crackers and peanut butter before dinner or made free use of swear words. I don't use that line on my own kids, but I certainly think it (although I do try to model "good" behavior as much as possible, at least while they're awake).Two stars off for how annoyingly good Jim is.

    I usually dislike reading classics because the writing style is so different from what we read every day. But, RLS style was not offsetting, maybe because I expected the “pirate” style of talking and so wasn’t distracted by mentally trying to rewrite the text. And, with any adventure story you must be in the frame of mind for the adventure. I put down several times because I couldn’t settle into the story, but once my attention was attached I could not put it down.

    A classic story. The determination of the characters is well done. If you have not read it....the chances are Earth is a very distant place for you.

    Echt actieverhaal, maar van een bijzondere soort. Jim is een echte held, die ondanks naiviteit toch bepalend is voor de redding van de groep. Opvallend is vooral het dubbele portret van John Silver: moorddadige piraat, valserik aan de ene kant, maar ook romantische piraat, intelligent, goed wetend wat het goede is.

    Finished reading this book aloud to the kids TODAY! Hooray- it took all of 6 months.. with *many* breaks in between.. But it was a great read aloud. We had to look up many of the nautical terms and lingo, but it was a good story over all. I think I said in my original post that I wouldn't have picked this book up on my own. It's an adventure story about seafaring pirates.. And that is not something that grabs me, but nevertheless I did enjoy reading it to the kids. And now we can say we've read Treasure Island!

    I recently read the fictionalized account of R.L. Stevenson's life {Under the Wide and Starry Sky: A Novel (Nancy Horan)}.Doing the book in audio, I found I really enjoyed this rendition of his life.The only Stevenson I had read was The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, so it was time for another classic.I chose Treasure Island.I must admit I usually don't gravitate toward an adventure story of "buccaneers and buried gold."However, the characters were so vivid (especially my perception of a pirate) and the style of writing was intriguing.I'm happy with my choice.4★Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

    This was great, with a thrilling read by B.J. Harrison of the The Classic Tales podcast. I thought I had read this before, but I think that was just all the movies I have seen over the years. The actual book is so much more developed than I expected. I really need to check out more of these classic adventure stories.

    Read this again for the first time! It's been many years and it was like reading it fresh again - ya gotta love getting old! A Classic and must-read; there are so many concepts, phrases and ideas that originated with this book. Very enjoyable. For a children's book, it is a bit rough by today's standards, but the moral lessons of loyalty are powerful - the moral ambiguity is a lesson.

    Good adventure story at any age. I never read it as a child as it was considered a boy's book. It's a great tale, very fast paced with interesting characters.

    My only experience with this story has been through Wishbone and the Muppet version. With this background it was interesting to read the real story and get a feel for the plot that inspired those re-tellings. In my opinion the story's punch is only hampered by the overly wordy and didactic nature of the narrative. Writers of that time didn't show, they told and told and told. Lots of description and so forth. That being said, it was still enjoyable and young Hawkins surprised me as an exceptionally daring protagonist. Fun and rollicking!

    I am embarrassed to say I knew neither the original nor the aeronautical meaning of the word leeway. It is extraordinary how much of pirate lore comes from this book. Also, although written in 1881 close to the time of the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, Stevenson either still believed in the miasma theory or he put it in the mouth of his 18th century Dr. Livesey for historical verisimilitude (unlikely).

    Much better than I expected it to be! Not in any way simply a "boy's story" although the main narrator is a 15-year-old. Great characterization and dramatic action throughout. Loved it!
