"Una mañana, un viejo marinero que tenía la cara marcada con la cicatriz de un sable, llegó hasta nuestra casa arrastrando un gastado baúl. Era alto y fuerte y llevaba el pelo recogido en una trenza negra. Sus manos, con las uñas sucias y recomidas sujetaban un bastón. Dentro de la posada, el viejo marinero pidió un vaso de ron y, apurándolo de un solo trago, comenzó a hablar con mi madre." El joven Jim Hawkins, hijo de la mesonera de un pequeño pueblo de la costa de Inglaterra, conoce a un viejo marinero borracho y malhumorado, que al morir deja el mapa de un tesoro: un codiciado alijo de oro y plata enterrado por el legendario pirata Flint en una lejana isla tropical. Jim consigue abordar un barco para ir a la isla, pero, mezclada con la tripulación, una banda de piratas capitaneados por John Silver también perseguirá el botín. Empieza la aventura. Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book on 23 May 1883, it was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881 and 1882 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 known for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality - as seen in Long John Silver - unusual for children's literature every now and again. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous, including treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen carrying parrots on their shoulders.

Full text.Idealistic young scientist Henry Jekyll struggles to unlock the secrets of the soul. Testing chemicals in his lab, he drinks a mixture he hopes will isolate - and eliminate - human evil. Instead it unleashes the dark forces within him, transforming him into the hideous and murderous Mr. Hyde.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dramatically brings to life a science-fiction case study of the nature of good and evil and the duality that can exist within one person. Resonant with psychological perception and ethical insight, the work has literary roots in Dostoevsky's "The Double" and Crime and Punishment. Today Stevenson's novella is recognized as an incisive study of Victorian morality and sexual repression, as well as a great thriller.

No writer in the English language has so perfectly wedded the horrific with the literary, the thrilling with the provoking, or the profane with the spiritual as Robert Louis Stevenson. His Gothic masterpiece Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde has left unfathomable impressions on the fabric of our cultural self-understanding, stamping its heavy foot tread in drama, film, and our language, and leaving a twisted labyrinth of psychological, ethical, and social alleyways for readers to ponder decades after it first effected the way we understand ourselves and the balance between public acceptance and private desires. In an age when social media has left the gap between a manicured image and internal reality wider than ever before, Jekyll and Hyde speaks to our desperation to be validated and our conflicting hunger to live freely without consequence. In this illustrated and annotated volume of Stevenson's best horror stories -- including the only available English translation of "Thrawn Janet," Stevenson's terrifying story of possession and witchcraft -- you will find corpses that violate space and time, Satanic doppelgangers, homicidal treasure hunters, jealous ghosts, erotic vampires, unspeakable family curses, and much more.

Prayers Written at Vailima is a classic poetry collection by Robert Louis Stevenson. In every Samoan household the day is closed with prayer and the singing of hymns. The omission of this sacred duty would indicate, not only a lack of religious training in the house chief, but a shameless disregard of all that is reputable in Samoan social life. No doubt, to many, the evening service is no more than a duty fulfilled.

The irreverent tale revolves around the exploits of Captain Jacques St. Ives who is captured by the British and thrown in jail. While there, he meets the droll Miss Gilchrist and her lovely niece, Flora, who takes an interest in the prisoner. For Jacques and Flora, it's love at first sight - although Major Chevening had his eye on her first. Not long afterward, Jacques escapes and makes an enemy out of his long lost brother Alain, who's been living in Scotland and looking to take over the family fortune upon the death of their grandfather. Jacques thought Alain had been killed with their parents during the French Revolution. The escaped prisoner represents a threat to his brother and to the major, and now the plot thickens...

The publishers of ' Young Folks ' having asked for a successor to Treasure Island, Stevenson turned to the period of the Wars of the Roses as a setting for a tale of adventure frankly written for youthful readers. The only preparation a boy needs for enjoying "The Black Arrow " is some slight acquaintance with Shakespeare or Walter Scott; nay, if he have but skimmed the briefest history of the brave old medieval times, and knows what a part in them the long-bow and the cross-bow played, and what a salet is, and what a lance, he will need no further introduction to this tale of the early days of Richard Crookback-a tale "retold" (like that of the search for buried treasure) "exactly in the ancient way." Or if the telling differ from that to which he is accustomed, it will be because Mr. Stevenson writes with a pen so much more graphic, poetic, and incisive than the ancient chroniclers. Not content with weaving a plot that shall hold the reader spell-bound, he perfects his style with such care that not a superfluous or an ill-fitting w

Alexandre et sa femme s'installèrent à Essendean, où ils vécurent très simplement, ayant pris la charge de l'école du village. Ils n'eurent qu'un fils, David Balfour, qui est le héros de cette histoire. David fut élevé dans l'ignorance de ses droits sur le domaine, il perdit ses parents avant l'âge de dix-huit ans, et se trouva ainsi abandonné sans autre fortune qu'une lettre cachetée, adressée par son père à son oncle Ebenezer. Cette lettre lui fut remise par le pasteur d'Essendean, M. Campbell. David alla se présenter à son oncle et lui remit la lettre; il le trouva seul, vivant comme un vieux ladre à Sharos. Ebenezer reçut très mal son neveu, essaya même de se débarrasser de lui en l'exposant à un péril mortel, et enfin, l'embarqua sur le brick le Covenant, capitaine Hoseason, à destination des Carolines, où David devait être vendu pour travailler dans les plantations. À peine parti, et encore dans le Minch, le Covenant ayant abordé un bateau non ponté, le coula; un passager seul fut sauvé Alan Breck Stewart, l'un des proscrits de 1745, qui s'employait à faire parvenir les redevances du clan au chef Ardshiel, réfugié en France. Hoseason et son équipage, apprenant qu'Alan était porteur d'une forte somme, complotèrent de le dépouiller et de le tuer. David surprit le complot, en avertit Alan et lui promit de l'aider à se défendre.

"Here is a pretty state of things!" said the traveller. "Dying for a smoke; only one match left; and that certain to miss fire! Was there ever a creature so unfortunate? And yet," thought the traveller, "suppose I light this match, and smoke my pipe, and shake out the dottle here in the grass - the grass might catch on fire, for it is dry like tinder.
