ДАВАЙТЕ ПОЧИТАЕМ В ОРИГИНАЛЕ! Treasure Island
Today we are reading Robert Louis Stevenson's book “Treasure Island”. Stevenson's first novel, «Treasure Island», began as an entertainment for his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. After devising a map just to break the monotony of the summer of 1881 in Braemar, Scotland, Stevenson followed it immediately with a story whose "characters began to appear visibly among imaginary woods; and [whose] brown faces and bright weapons . . . passed to and fro, fighting, and hunting treasure, on these few square inches of a flat projection."
By October of 1881, the novel was first published in serial form in Young Folks' Magazine under the title "The Sea Cook." Stevenson's subsequent revisions led the work to great popularity when it was published in book form.
