A mysterious seaman hides at a country inn; cut-throats raid a sleepy English village; suddenly, young Jim Hawkins becomes the owner of a map leading to a lost tropical island and a fortune in stolen gold. Three adventures--Jim, Squire Trelawney, and Dr. Livesey--set out to find the treasure.
But they trust the one they should most fear, Long John Silver. Charming, brave ruthless, murderous, Silver fills the squire's ship with pirates. And on the desolate, fever-infested island, the quest for gold becomes a deadly war of hide and seek. Desperate defenders against merciless killers battling over a cursed treasure won with blood, buried with blood, sought with blood. Incredible wealth that Jim and his friends can only claim...

Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic.

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up-The archetypal sea-faring adventure story is given another rousing and dramatic rendition in this quickly paced abridged entry in Hodder's top-flight Classic Collection series. The critical plot and subplot threads have been beautifully retained, and all the classic lines like "shiver me timbers" have been included. Stalwart English actor Richard Griffiths handles the bulk of the narrative chores flawlessly and is particularly effective in his pacing. He is capably assisted by Gareth Armstrong who, inexplicably, is uncredited on the cassette case. The subtle use of occasional sound effects such as gulls, lapping waves, and cannon and gunshot enhances this superb version of Stevenson's masterpiece. All collections should make room for this fine work.

名傢譯文不難尋找,可好譯文的定義卻各有高見。有人看中名氣,有人依靠讀者口碑。語言上,有人愛文點的,有人偏好白話的。具體到已經流行多年的譯本,考量時,細節和譯文閱讀的整體感覺都不能忽略。而在這些之外,最重要的還有一個版權因素。譯文歸屬嚮來不統一,現在多數翻...
評分Treasure Island 並非僅僅是娛樂大眾的冒險小說。整個海上-陸地的冒險經曆,實際上是對力量和人性的探討。 1,力量的博弈。 說整個故事是一係列博弈模型真的不為過。當然,像數學那麼差的我,無法具體用理論來論證,可是不妨形象來討論一下: 角色可以分為兩派,暫時籠統稱...
評分打開書一看,我就發現藉錯書瞭。這種無障礙閱讀實在太辣眼睛瞭。好好的書,縮寫到極緻,僅存的文字還要斷句無數次,好多稍微復雜點的詞都加瞭小注釋,是不是在學脂硯齋評紅樓夢?小心翼翼跳過注釋,想讀成完整的句子和段落都不容易,雖然注釋還是標成瞭不同的顔色。縮寫也是個...
評分暴力對誰而言都是很糟糕的;權力不是絕對和永久的;人與人之間是平等的;要有理性。 這些是與勇於探索、打開眼界和心胸同樣重要的事,我希望每個孩子從小就能懂得。 還有誠信。 誠信是文明的一部分,沒有誠信,協商則毫無意義,世界將會變成最野蠻粗暴的樣子。 摘自:《金銀島...
