Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published as a serialized children's story in 1881-1882, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island has become an enduring classic. It has all the elements of a great adventure story: a plot full of twists and turns, an escalating sense of treachery and impending disaster, and a quintessential villain. Teenager Jim Hawkins finds a map titled "Treasure Island" in the belongings of a stricken lodger at the Admiral Benbow Inn in 1750s England. He soon finds himself aboard the schooner Hispaniola with a crew of disguised pirates headed to the Caribbean on a quest to find buried treasure. Long John Silver, the peg-legged cook, is the leader of this wretched crew. He is both engaging and ruthless, feared by even his barbarous accomplices, and a shape-shifter, pretending to be Jim's good friend and enemy, secretly plotting a mutiny. When mutiny begins, Jim must save the day. This beloved adventure story is pure fiction--but fiction well grounded in historical and geographical reality. In The Annotated Treasure Island, editor and researcher Simon Barker-Benfield meticulously and lovingly annotates this voyage, offering crucial factual information, a sociopolitical context, and clear technical explanations that bring you closer to the action. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of nautical equipment, parts of ships, and period maps, The Annotated Treasure Island brings the seafaring vernacular to life. You'll learn about "blocks," "backstays," and "shrouds." And you'll see Jim and the crew handle the Hispaniola, whether it's the "simple" chore of raising the anchor--which in a similar, real vessel could require three hours'-worth of hauling in a very slimy cable six inches at a time--or the difficulty and meaning of "warping" and "putting a man in the chains" in order to take depth soundings. The story illustrations by Louis Rhead (1857-1926) deftly draw out the escalating dramatic tension. Would all the risk and hardship have been worth it? Just how much treasure was the crew after? What could one have bought with 700,000 pounds sterling in the 1700s? Even that question is answered in this newly annotated edition: it would have been enough to buy and outfit a fleet of eleven 104-gun battleships of the period. Seven hundred thousand pounds sterling was serious money, enough money that some men would do almost anything to get it.

Book excerpt: Treasure Island "For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, 'the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.' G. S. Fraser terms it 'an utterly original book' and goes on to write: 'There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book-It has a historical context with research of the timeJim Hawkins is a young man who works with his parents at an inn called Admiral Benbow. One day a sailor named Billy Bones appears, whose only possession is an old chest. The tavern is visited by a blind sailor the same night Jim's father dies. He threatens Bones by telling him that he and his minions will attack him later to retrieve the chest. Bones dies of apoplexy, product of his addiction to rum. Jim and his mother run away with the contents of the chest and see from the outside how pirates destroy Admiral Benbow.Jim takes refuge in the house of the squire (Trelawney) next to Doctor Livesey. Jim shows them the treasure map he found in Bones's chest and the three decide to look for it. Trelawney gets as crew members Long John Silver, former master of Captain Flint, and Captain Smollet in command of Hispaniola. Despite the Captain's protests about his bad crew, the ship sails. During the crossing, Jim falls into a barrel of apples and, inside him, he listens to the betrayal plans of Silver and other sailors. Jim comments what happened to his teammates who decide to draw up a plan against them.After arriving on the island, Silver and most unfair sailors disembark. Jim goes with them, but runs away and finds a former sailor of Captain Flint abandoned on the island, named Ben Gunn. The Captain, the squire, the doctor and his servants retain the few traitorous sailors who had remained on the ship and take refuge in a fortress on the island. After failed negotiations between both sides, some fighting with firearms takes place in the fort.Jim then uses Ben Gunn's rowing boat to approach (during the night) the Hispaniola and cut the moorings so that the pirates will drift away. The current takes to Hispaniola and Jim's boat. This manages to climb the Hispaniola and control it to run aground on a sandbar. Then, after many adventures, Jim manages to return to the fort. When he arrives he discovers that they have given the fort, supplies and the map to the pirates, they take him prisoner. The next day, the pirates go out to find the treasure, but in the place indicated by the map there is only one hole. Suddenly the squire, the doctor and the faithful sailors emerge from some bushes, these manage to kill some pirates while others hullen. In the end Jim, Silver and the others go to Ben Gunn's cave, who had found the treasure and transferred it there. They load the treasure in Hispaniola and return toEngland.
