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.

花了两个晚上把世界名著《金银岛》重温了一遍。这是一个讲述了一位聪明、勇敢的小男孩(也就是我们的男主)在机缘巧合的情况下得到藏宝图,并与一群大人去寻宝冒险的故事。 整个故事分为上下两个部分,第一部分讲男主如何得到藏宝图。故事从海边一个平静的小旅馆讲起,然后有...
評分与女儿一起悦读史蒂文森的《金银岛》,认认真真的读完两遍,合上书,写点啥呢? 先从作者史蒂文森写起吧,这位自小健康状况就很糟糕的作家曾说过“我有这么多东西来让生活更加甜蜜,不过我没有健康,这似乎是很可惜的。”是呀,真是好遗憾,如果史蒂文森的健康状况能达到良—...
評分航海、海盗、寻宝……这些极富冒险、神秘色彩的词语,组合起来就是童年吧!随着时间的推移,成长的历练,岁月的磨砺,很多时候童年的这些奇妙幻想已经在心里翻不起一丝涟漪了。但,阅读终究是能让人忘却世俗、回归纯真的一种极佳方式。全书共16万5千字,断断续续地可能就花了两...
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98年11月1版 08年6月11刷 这本书和<书虫>系列其它书有一点有很大不同,那就是这本书的注释带音标。这是到目前为止我看过60多本书虫中唯一的一本。当然,也不是所有单词都有音标。 我不知道带音标是好还是不好,只是看它有点特别。我自己看过这么多不带音标的已经习惯了。 下...
