Synopsis "Treasure Island: A tale of buccaneers and buried gold (in English)"

Welcome to the world of Mogul Classics Books. In this edition of the wonderful novel Treasure Island, by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, we are proud to offer you the best publication of this classic, one of the most loved and timeless stories of all times. Treasure Island is an adventure novel, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book on 23 May 1883, it was originally serialized in a magazine under the title Treasure Island or, the mutiny of the Hispaniola with Stevenson adopting the pseudonym Captain George North. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is a tale noted for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous and still has its reflexes nowadays, with the creation of such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders. Treasure Island is arguably one of the greatest works of storytelling in the English language. Stevenson created other novels, with greater depth and insight, but the highlight of Treasure Island is the combination of colorful and poetic prose that distinguishes his tale of piracy and boyhood adventure from the rest of the field of other adventure books. As you read this Mogul Classics Books edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, you will relive one of the most acclaimed stories of all times.

(Edimburgo, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) Novelista, cuentista, poeta y ensayista británico. Ingresó en la Universidad de Edimburgo cuando tenía dieciséis años para poder seguir los pasos de su padre y convertirse en ingeniero de faros, de lo cual desistiría. Sus estudios de náutica, le permitieron entrar en contacto con las gentes y costumbres marineras, ingredientes fundamentales en algunas de sus obras más conocidas. Su famosa obra, La Isla del tesoro, la publicó bajo el seudónimo de Captain George North en 1881. En 1886, llegaría El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura. Murió en la Isla de Samoa, en su casa, Vailima.
