"Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic adventure novel that begins with the arrival of a seafaring stranger, Billy Bones, at the Admiral Benbow Inn. Billy possesses a map to buried treasure, which the nefarious pirate crew also covets. Upon his death, young Jim Hawkins, the son of the inn's owners, claims the map. Hawkins, with the assistance of a local squire, Trelawney, and a doctor, Livesey, outfits a ship named Hispaniola to claim this buried bounty. Nevertheless, they are unaware that the recruited crew members, led by the one-legged Long John Silver, share a pirate background, turning the sealing voyage into a terrifying struggle for survival and the treasure. As the Hispaniola anchors near the Treasure Island, the treacherous crew mutinies under Silver’s leadership. However, Jim manages to desert the Hispaniola and encounters a marooned pirate, Ben Gunn, on the island. Simultaneously, Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and a few loyal crew members fortify themselves in a stockade on the island. The book that ensues is a thrilling sequence of battles and strategy, where the heroes face death more than once but manage to keep the pirates at bay. Meanwhile, Jim learns from Gunn about a secret boat hidden on the island, allowing him to execute a bold plan. In the climax of the adventure, Jim sails to the Hispaniola, and manages to run it aground, making it inaccessible for the pirates. Meanwhile, Silver acquires the treasure map in a surprise turnover. The treasure hunt commences, only to reveal an empty cache. The pirates turn on Silver when Gunn leads Jim and his allies to the real treasure hoard. Silver assists them, causing a shift in allegiance. As the loyal group sails back to Bristol, they leave behind the remaining mutineers and maroon the treacherous yet charismatic Long John Silver. Thus, "Treasure Island" encapsulates themes of treachery, bravery, and the line between morality and survival.
