Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, musician and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. Stevenson was a literary celebrity during his lifetime, and now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Bertolt Brecht, Marcel Proust, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, Cesare Pavese, Emilio Salgari, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said that Stevenson "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins".
Masterfully crafted, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the fiery tropic seas—an unforgettable tale of treachery that embroils a host of legendary swashbucklers from honest young Jim Hawkins to sinister, two-timing Israel Hands to evil incarnate, blind Pew. But above all, Treasure Island is a complex study of good and evil, as embodied by that hero-villain, Long John Silver; the merry unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy lust for gold cannot help but win the heart of every one who ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure. Since its publication in 1883, Treasure Island has provided an enduring literary model for such eminent writers as Anthony Hope, Graham Greene, and Jorge Luis Borges. As David Daiches wrote: “Robert Louis Stevenson transformed the Victorian boys’ adventure into a classic of its kind.”

在Chapter 21 《The Attack》裏有這麼一句話: This is as dull as the doldrums. Gray, whistle for a wind. 翻譯過來就是“悶得跟赤道無風帶一樣,Gray,吹個口哨來點風吧!”《莊子》說“大塊噫氣,其名為風”,産生的原理雖然一樣,但吹口哨的人和大地相比,實在不...
評分好久沒有看過這麼暢快的一本書,盯著看,追著看,要不是看書慢又實在扛不住熬夜的難受,一定會一口氣看完。不過,最終也隻花瞭兩口氣看完瞭它。這本書再次證實瞭:一看書就犯睏真的不能怪我,那是書還不夠吸引人。 喜歡這本書講故事就隻是講故事,而並不非得講個什麼道理,例...
評分俗語有雲:人為財死鳥為食亡!對經濟利益的最大化追求是人類文明嚮前奔走的驅動藥劑之一,經濟基礎決定上層建築,換言之也就影響我們的文明形態和政經製度,煌煌數捲的資本大論就是描述這種因果關係,我想很多人會是贊同的。 大傢高唱我的徵途是星之大海,贊頌英雄主義,對未知...
評分小時候第一次讀,就興奮的放不下手。 反反復復的閱讀瞭好幾遍,可能是小說裏的冒險,那份無法去體驗的經曆,讓人充滿遐想。 海盜寶藏的神秘,就像海盜的曆史一樣,真真假假的錯落交叉。 主角的孩子身份,讓小時候的我更是融入其中,流連忘返。 現在大瞭,看瞭更多的關於海盜的...
評分這是我看的第1本外國小說,初中和高中時一共看瞭3遍吧。 居然看到有人說榮如德翻譯的不好,怪瞭?!本書翻譯得相當齣色,語感非常符閤故事所處的年代。 這個版本的插圖是原版的,非常精美,後來在市麵上見到的譯本中,大都沒有插圖,少數有很差的插圖。 好在我有一本9品的用來...

大好 啊
評分人物形象倒是很鮮明,惡不是十足的惡,善也不是十足的善。
評分不錯的冒險故事。
評分Jim, what a clever and courageous boy!!
評分就這本書的文字量來講,情節還算是跌宕起伏。人物刻畫真實,場景描寫水準非常高。單詞難度非常高,擁有大量的航海、船隻的專屬詞匯以及俚語、縮寫、有意誤寫,絕對不是一般水準的讀物。不給滿星是因為那張藏寶圖字太小,實在是太坑爹瞭。
