Hang the treasure! It's the glory of the sea that has turned my head.” ― Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island This beautiful edition contains ◆ 120 illustrations ◆ from the original edition which was published in 1915. The illustrations have been made by Louis Rhead. "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.' A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf! Review: Still an adventure! - As soon as I got used to the days English it was written in, I really got into the story. There were occasional sentences that I didn't fully understand, but I just blew over them as the story was so exciting I just couldn't be bothered with figuring them out. Also there were some words that I didn't know offhand, as I don't believe we use them in the same way anymore. But I didn't even care! Now that my ignorance is exposed, I must say, it was a grand adventure and everyone should have a chance to read it! It's not just for preteen and teenage boys to experience, I'm an older woman, and I loved it! Very funny at times. And I know first hand what makes this a classic! I Highly recommend this treasure. Even better, it was a free download for my Kindle! Review: Treasure Island - a story not easily forgotten! - Treasure Island is a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson. This book is a classic pirate tale that follows a young boy named Jim Hawkins, who unexpectedly crosses paths with a pirate called Captain. Captain decides to stay at the inn where Jim works. When the Captain dies, Jim somehow ends up with a treasure map to Treasure Island. Which is also the same map almost every fearless, dangerous pirate is after. Suddenly, Jim is throw into an adventure of his lifetime with his friend, the doctor, and a crew they gathered along with a ship. Jim’s life completely changes to a journey full of adventure, danger, deceit, and suspense. I enjoyed this novel. However, I thought the book was slow in the beginning, and, it took me a while to really get into the book. When I finally did, I couldn’t put it down! I grew to love the story and the characters. Robert Louis Stevenson created a classic fantasy adventure novel full of imagination. He includes many shocking plot twists in the story. This book was fun, and the dialogue was clever. I loved the characters. I especially liked Jim Hawkins, the main character. I liked how although he was very mature, he showed his true age through his childlike curiosity. All I all, Treasure Island is a classic adventure novel that will be talked about for years to come. I really enjoyed this pirate’s tale and will recommend it to others. “Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!” ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #42,484 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Action & Adventure Short Stories (Books) #155 in American Poetry (Books) #266 in Classic Action & Adventure (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 17,360 Reviews | ## Images ![Treasure Island: The Original 1883 Edition With Complete Illustrations (A Robert Louis Stevenson Classic Novel) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lDKRk1FXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still an adventure! *by C***L on February 24, 2014* As soon as I got used to the days English it was written in, I really got into the story.

Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Timeless Adventure Classic *by F***N on February 1, 2013* I had never read this book until I downloaded it for free on Kindle. Wow! How did I ever miss this one? In my youth I read Tolkein, Burroughs, Howard, and many others, but, somehow I never got around to reading Treasure Island. Not only is this one of the great pirate tales, it is also THE buried treasure book, and, one of the truly great adventure stories of all time. While there are many that will find fault with some aspects of the story, all in all, I would suggest that all would-be writers desiring to tell a tale of adventure should take the time to reread this tale before they begin their labors. I should say that having done so, the bulk of them would recognize how far short their own efforts fall. Technically; the book is extremely well written, the plot moves along at a brisk pace, the characters are well drawn, and the dialog sparkles. There is plenty of action, adventure, and suspense, all of it told in a crystal clear prose that wastes not a word. In a nutshell this may indeed be one of the greatest tales of adventure ever told. Although it has traditionally been perceived as a story for younger readers, having just read it at middle age, I believe that you shouldn't consider this a children's tale. Long John Silver is as darkly evil a character as ever appeared in print; he seduces men with a ready confidentiality, warm, friendly, knowing banter, and then cold-bloodedly murders them when their back is turned. He suffers no scruples, knows nothing of mercy, and sells anyone at anytime to the other side if he thinks it will profit him. I think Long John Silver would have done well as a Wall Street corporate raider. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/523466878-treasure-island-the-original-1883-edition-with-complete-illustrations-robert](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/523466878-treasure-island-the-original-1883-edition-with-complete-illustrations-robert) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
