书籍简介

“死者的胸前有十五个人——呦呦呦和一瓶朗姆酒！” 金银岛是一个关于海盗和恶棍、地图、宝藏和海难的故事，也许是有史以来最好的冒险故事。

当年轻的吉姆霍金斯在弗林特船长的海运箱中发现一个包裹时，他不知道里面的地图会带他找到难以想象的宝藏。 作为伊斯帕尼奥拉号上的客舱男孩，他与 Squire Trelawney、Smollett 船长、Livesey 博士、险恶的 Long John Silver 和一群可怕的船员一起航行到金银岛。 在那里，兵变、谋杀和混乱导致了惊心动魄的高潮。

'Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!' Treasure Island is a tale of pirates and villains, maps, treasure and shipwreck, and is perhaps the best adventure story ever written.

When young Jim Hawkins finds a packet in Captain Flint's sea chest, he could not know that the map inside it would lead him to unimaginable treasure. Shipping as cabin boy on the Hispaniola, he sails with Squire Trelawney, Captain Smollett, Dr Livesey, the sinister Long John Silver and a frightening crew to Treasure Island. There, mutiny, murder and mayhem lead to a thrilling climax.

作者简介

罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森（Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson，1850 年 11 月 13 日 - 1894 年 12 月 3 日）是苏格兰小说家、散文家、诗人和旅行作家。他著名的作品有《金银岛》、《杰基尔博士的奇怪案例》和《海德先生》、《被绑架》和《儿童诗篇》。

史蒂文森在爱丁堡出生并接受教育，他一生中的大部分时间都患有严重的支气管疾病，但他仍然无视健康状况不佳，继续大量写作并广泛旅行。年轻时，他混迹于伦敦文坛，得到安德鲁·朗、埃德蒙·戈斯、莱斯利·斯蒂芬和 W.E.亨利的鼓励，他们中的最后一个可能为金银岛的朗约翰·西尔弗提供了模特。 1890 年，他在萨摩亚定居，对欧洲和美国在南海岛屿上日益增长的影响感到震惊，他的写作从浪漫和冒险小说转向了更黑暗的现实主义。 1894 年，他在岛上的家中去世，享年 44 岁。

史蒂文森一生中的名人，自他去世以来，他的批评声誉一直在波动，尽管今天他的作品受到普遍赞誉。 2018 年，他被评为世界上第 26 位被翻译最多的作家，仅次于查尔斯·狄更斯。

Robert Louis Stevenson (born Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson; 13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses.

Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. In 1890, he settled in Samoa where, alarmed at increasing European and American influence in the South Sea islands, his writing turned away from romance and adventure fiction toward a darker realism. He died in his island home in 1894 at age 44.

A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson's critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. In 2018 he was ranked, just behind Charles Dickens, as the 26th-most-translated author in the world.
