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.

这是我看的第1本外国小说,初中和高中时一共看了3遍吧。 居然看到有人说荣如德翻译的不好,怪了?!本书翻译得相当出色,语感非常符合故事所处的年代。 这个版本的插图是原版的,非常精美,后来在市面上见到的译本中,大都没有插图,少数有很差的插图。 好在我有一本9品的用来...
評分打开书一看,我就发现借错书了。这种无障碍阅读实在太辣眼睛了。好好的书,缩写到极致,仅存的文字还要断句无数次,好多稍微复杂点的词都加了小注释,是不是在学脂砚斋评红楼梦?小心翼翼跳过注释,想读成完整的句子和段落都不容易,虽然注释还是标成了不同的颜色。缩写也是个...
評分好久没有看过这么畅快的一本书,盯着看,追着看,要不是看书慢又实在扛不住熬夜的难受,一定会一口气看完。不过,最终也只花了两口气看完了它。这本书再次证实了:一看书就犯困真的不能怪我,那是书还不够吸引人。 喜欢这本书讲故事就只是讲故事,而并不非得讲个什么道理,例...
評分因为以后要看书了,正好当时看过这本书的电影,所以打算看看。 电影还不错,书会不会有不同呢?管他了,看看吧。 这本书其实我预料的差不多。我觉得他去找宝藏的原因还有有点令人迷惑的。 我印象最深的地方是西尔弗放过了吉姆,其实他是想既不上绞刑架,又拿走宝藏。这样一个十...
