Innehållsbeskrivning
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. 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.There have been over 50 movie and TV versions, over 24 major stage and radio adaptations as well as book adaptions and comics made.Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 26 most translated authors in the world, ahead of fellow nineteenth-century writers Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Schwob, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins." [Elib]

Med en svårtolkad karta och drömmar om rikedom kommer Jim Hawkins, tillsammans med kapten Smollett och manskapet på skeppet Hispaniola, till ön där den mytomspunne piraten kapten Flint ska ha begravt sin skatt. Fast med en besättning som till stora delar består av Flints gamla underhuggare ligger myteriet nära. Ben Gunn blir Jims vän, men Long John Silver, kapten Flints enbente kock, visar sig vara en grandios motståndare. Skattkammarön är ett slags äventyrsromanernas äventyrsroman, som har blivit stilbildande och vuxit till en egen mytologi, vars gestalter har lyskraft som få andra. Den har filmatiserats och bearbetats många gånger, men den ursprungliga romanen drar ständigt in nya generationer av läsare i sin trollkrets.

Hans mest berömda verk är den gotiska sci-fi-kortromanen Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, samt äventyrsromanen Skattkammarön. [Elib]
