Jim Hawkins, a young boy, finds a logbook and a map in the sea chest of an old seaman who died in his father’s inn. Jim shows these documents to Dr Livesey, a family friend, and the Squire John Trelawney. They discover that the map indicates the location of an enormous treasure buried on a remote island by Captain Flint, a notorious pirate. The three of them then set sail for the remote island, but the crew they hired are all pirates who are also after the treasure. A series of violent incidents, including murders, follows. Jim and his two allies, however, get hold of the riches in the end. Treasure Island (1883) is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. One of the most often dramatized and adapted novels in numerous media, the book has had a significant influence on depictions of pirates in popular culture.
