Robert Louis Stevenson (1850—1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, travel writer, and essayist. He was a celebrity during his lifetime for works like "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Treasure Island." Now he is one of the most translated authors in the world. Being a classic worldwide know novel, "Treasure Island" tells the tale of the conflict between good and evil. This time it is not just some evil, but a particularly engaging one, the pirates! It is an extremely exciting story of the most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of dangerous adventures that involves not only typical pirate treats like greed and betrayal but also heart and courage.
