Med en svårtolkad karta och drömmar om rikedom kommer Jim Hawkins, tillsammans med kapten Smollett och manskapet på skeppet Hispaniola, till ön där den mytomspunne piraten kapten Flint ska ha begravt sin skatt. Fast med en besättning som till stora delar består av Flints gamla underhuggare ligger myteriet nära. Ben Gunn blir Jims vän, men Long John Silver, kapten Flints enbente kock, visar sig vara en grandios motståndare. Skattkammarön är ett slags äventyrsromanernas äventyrsroman, som har blivit stilbildande och vuxit till en egen mytologi, vars gestalter har lyskraft som få andra. Den har filmatiserats och bearbetats många gånger, men den ursprungliga romanen drar ständigt in nya generationer av läsare i sin trollkrets.I svensk översättning av Jan Ristarp.

NYÖVERSÄTTNING
Det råder mörk höst i 1880-talets London när det kommer till advokat Gabriel John Uttersons kännedom att en av hans mest respektabla klienter, doktor Henry Jekyll, upprättat ett nytt testamente. I testamentet tillkännager doktor Jekyll att alla hans ägodelar, i händelse av hans död eller försvinnande, ska tillfalla en viss mr Edward Hyde. Samma mr Hyde som av Uttersons kamrat, mr Richard Enfield, setts misshandla en främling, en liten flicka, ute på gatan. Advokat Utterson fruktar att mr Hyde, en helt uppenbart genomvidrig person, på något vis tvingat den gode Jekyll att skriva över sina ägodelar på honom. En orolig advokat Utterson bestämmer sig för att söka upp doktor Jekyll och be denne om en förklaring. Förklaringen till Jekylls handlande, som långsamt uppenbarar sig är diabolisk, mer fruktansvärd än Utterson någonsin kunnat föreställa sig.
Dr Jekyll och mr Hyde är romanen som blev Robert Louis Stevensons (1850–1894) definitiva genombrott som författare. Det är en ryslig berättelse, en allegori som förebådar Freuds teorier, blottlägger varje ny läsares egna mörka sidor samtidigt som denne bjuds på världslitteraturens mest chockerande twist.

'there were only seven out of the twenty-six on whom we knew we could rely; and out of those seven one was a boy ...'When a mysterious seafarer puts up at the Admiral Benbow, young Jim Hawkins is haunted by his frightening tales; the sailor's sudden death is the beginning of one of the most exciting adventure stories in literature. The discovery of a treasure map sets Jim and his companions in search of buried gold, and they are soon on board the Hispaniola with a crew of buccaneers recruited by the one-legged sea cook known as Long John Silver. As they near their destination, and the lure of Captain Flint's treasure grows ever stronger, Jim's courage and wits are tested to the full.Stevenson reinvented the genre with Treasure Island, a boys' story that appeals as much to adults as to children, and whose moral ambiguities turned the Victorian universe on its head.

The quintessential adventure story that first established pirates in the popular imagination, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is edited with an introduction by John Seelye in Penguin Classics.When a mysterious sailor dies in sinister circumstances at the Admiral Benbow inn, young Jim Hawkins stumbles across a treasure map among the dead man's possessions. But Jim soon becomes only too aware that he is not the only one who knows of the map's existence, and his bravery and cunning are tested to the full when, with his friends Squire Trelawney and Dr Livesey, he sets sail in the Hispaniola to track down the treasure. With its swift-moving plot and memorably drawn characters - Blind Pew and Black Dog, the castaway Ben Gunn and the charming but dangerous Long John Silver - Stevenson's tale of pirates, treachery and heroism was an immediate success when it was first published in 1883 and has retained its place as one of the greatest of all adventure stories.In his introduction John Seelye examines Stevenson's life and influences and the novel's place within adventure fiction. This edition also includes Stevenson's essay on the composition of Treasure Island.Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh, the son of a prosperous civil engineer. Although he began his career as an essayist and travel writer, the success of Treasure Island (1883) and Kidnapped (1886) established his reputation as a writer of tales of action and adventure. Stevenson's Calvinist upbringing lent him a preoccupation with predestination and a fascination with the presence of evil, themes he explored in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and The Master of Ballantrae (1893).If you enjoyed Treasure Island, you might like Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, also available in Penguin Classics.

Treasure Island is the seminal pirates and buried treasure novel, which is so brilliantly concocted that it appeals to readers both young and old. The story is told in the first person by young Jim Hawkins, whose mother keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn. An old seadog, a resident at the inn, hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors whom he fears but, despite all precautions, the old man is served with the black spot which means death. Among the dead man's belongings Jim discovers a map showing the location of the buried treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint. It is not long before he, along with Doctor Livesey and Squire Trelawney, sets sail to find the treasure. However, amongst the hired hands is the one-legged Long John Silver who has designs on the treasure for himself. The continuing fascination with this tale of high drama, buried treasure and treachery bears out what Stevenson wrote about the book to his friend W. E. Henley: 'if this don’t fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.' The book not only continues to 'fetch the kids' but the grown-ups too – in fact all those with the spirit of adventure in their hearts.
