Treasure Island, Er C - Robert L. Stevenson - English Book

Beskrivelse

Stevenson hoped that this story would please young people. It was, he explained, a story of sailors, storms and adventures, heat and cold, sailing-ships, islands, pirates and buried gold – all told in the old way.

It is the story of the bloodthirsty and hard-hearted Captain Flint who, on his deathbed in 1754, drew the map of an island where he had buried his treasure – seven hundred thousand pounds in silver and gold.

Young Jim Hawkins is living with his father and mother when he meets the mysterious old seaman Billy Bones – the man who holds Flint’s map of Treasure Island.

Jim is drawn into a series of bloody adventures, which cost the lives of seventeen men and more and involve the evil old seaman Pew, Squire Trelawney, Dr Livesey, poor Ben Gunn, and the one-legged, two-faced Long John Silver, whose green talking parrot knows more than it should when it echoes the treasure-cry of Captain Flint: “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
