Book Synopsis Treasure Island by : Robert Louis Stevenson
Download or read book Treasure Island written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quintessential adventure story that first established pirates in the popular imagination When a mysterious sailor dies in sinister circumstances at the Admiral Benbow inn, young Jim Hawkins stumbles across a treasure map among the dead man's possessions. But Jim soon becomes only too aware that he is not the only one who knows of the map's existence, and his bravery and cunning are tested to the full when, with his friends Squire Trelawney and Dr Livesey, he sets sail in the Hispaniola to track down the treasure. With its swift-moving plot and memorably drawn characters—Blind Pew and Black Dog, the castaway Ben Gunn and the charming but dangerous Long John Silver—Stevenson's tale of pirates, treachery and heroism was an immediate success when it was first published in 1883 and has retained its place as one of the greatest of all adventure stories.

Book Synopsis The Great Adventures by : Robert Louis Stevenson
Download or read book The Great Adventures written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the finest adventure stories ever written More people are aware of Robert Louis Stevenson's great novels of high adventure than have ever read the original books, for they are enduring favourites for dramatisation on film, television, radio and the stage. There is a simple explanation for this, and that is that quality abides while mediocrity inevitably fades away. Leonaur has brought together two of these wonderful adventures, Treasure Island and The Black Arrow, in one good-value edition. Stevenson, unlike some contemporary writers of 'historical' fiction, always paints an authentic picture of historical periods whether it is in the maritime world of eighteenth century pirates in 'Treasure Island' or the fifteenth century world of the Wars of the Roses against which the action of 'The Black Arrow' is set. 'The Black Arrow' was written after 'Treasure Island' and though it might not be as well known today, was considered by the author to be a superior book. However, it is almost impossible to undervalue either story. 'Treasure Island' features a host of memorable characters including the immortal Long John Silver in a genre defining adventure in search of buried pirate treasure. 'The Black Arrow' combines a story of murder, treachery and revenge in the medieval world that thunders to a climax of bloody battle involving not only the novel's principal characters but also the driven, sinister figure of Richard of Gloucester-the future infamous Richard III. This is an essential volume for collectors' and a genuine treat for anyone who has yet to read these iconic tales. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best Short Works of One of English Literature’s Most Masterful Storytellers Collected in a Single Volume Known mostly for his seminal full-length works, such as the famous classics Treasure Island and Kidnapped, Robert Louis Stevenson’s masterful short fiction is often overshadowed. Now these pioneering works in the English short story tradition are presented here, collected in a single volume. Including the beloved novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," which G. K. Chesterton called “a double triumph,” and “The Merry Men,” as well as stories like “The Suicide Club” and “The Rajah’s Diamond” from the acclaimed 1882 collection New Arabian Nights, The Greatest Stories of Robert Louis Stevenson immerses you in Stevenson’s extraordinary worlds—thrilling tales of pure adventure and suspense, glorious evocations of the beauty of the Scottish countryside, and characters painted with the same vigor and energy as his most well-known creations. Showcasing his brilliant and lucid prose, his dramatic skill, and his perfect sense of pace that made him a celebrity during his time and a landmark author in the history of English literature, Stevenson’s enduring stories continue to capture the imagination of the contemporary reader and rightly belong to popular mythology today.
Book Synopsis The Book of Ebenezer le Page by : G.B. Edwards
Download or read book The Book of Ebenezer le Page written by G.B. Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated, and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and completed The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Published posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller’s art that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man.
