📖 Treasure Island

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is a must-read classic. The book is set in the 1700s when seventeen-year-old Jim Hawkins lives with his parents at a remote inn near the Bristol Channel. After Billy Bones, a former pirate who also lived at the inn, dies, a blind beggar named Pew and his comrades ransack the inn, looking for a packet including books and a map Billy kept in his chest showing where the infamous pirate Flint buried treasure. Before they could reach it, Jim and his mother had already escaped with the packet to a squire's home, where they and a doctor excitedly flipped through the book. The squire quickly decided that he, the physician, and Jim would go on a voyage to find the gold, unaware of the dangers inevitably heading his way. I recommend this book for its grasping plot twists which explore the themes of loyalty, and even the betrayal of mutiny that quickly turns deadly.

罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的《金银岛》是一本不可错过的经典之作。故事背景设定在 18 世纪 1700 年代,17 岁的吉姆·霍金斯与父母住在布里斯托尔海峡附近一家偏远的旅馆里。某天,住在旅馆的前海盗比利·博恩斯去世了,一个名叫皮尤的盲乞丐带着同伙闯入旅馆,寻找比利藏在箱子里的包裹,里面有书和地图,显示着臭名昭著的海盗弗林特埋藏宝藏的地点。在他们找到之前,吉姆和母亲已带着包裹逃到了一个地主家。在那里,他们和一位医生兴奋地翻阅着书本,地主迅速决定自己、医生和吉姆一起出海寻找黄金,完全没意识到即将面临的危险。 我推荐这本书,因为它扣人心弦的情节曲折起伏,探索了忠诚和背叛的主题,甚至是迅速致命的叛变。
