Publisher Description The new paperback series- Penguin English Library"One more step, Mr Hands," said I, "and Ill blow your brains out"In Treasure Island, a weathered old sailor known as Billy Bones arrives at the inn of young Jim Hawkinss parents - and it is the start of an adventure beyond anything he could have imagined. For when Bones dies mysteriously, Jim stumbles across a map of a mysterious island in his sea chest - where X marks the spot of a stash of buried pirate gold. Setting sail with his friends on the ship Hispaniola to recover the treasure, Jim soon realizes that hes not the only one who knows about the hoard. Suddenly he is thrown into a world of treachery, mutiny, castaways and murder and, at the centre of it all, is the charming but sinister Long John Silver, who will stop at nothing to grab his share of the loot... The Ebb-Tide, a short novel published the year of Stevensons death, is also a rollicking seafaring adventure, narrating the voyage of a stolen ship whilst exploring such themes as imperialism, violence, dishonesty, Christianity and corruption. Author Biography Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but was finally allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. Stevenson reacted forcibly against the Presbyterianism of both his citys professional classes and his devout parents, but the influence of Calvinism on his childhood informed the preoccupation with predestination and fascination with evil that are so powerfully explored in much of his fiction. Stevenson suffered from a severe respiratory disease from his twenties onwards, leading him to settle in the gentle climate of Samoa with his American wife, Fanny Osbourne.Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is also published in the Penguin English Library.
