Few are those who do not know
roughly what this story is about: pirates, thrilling journeys and adventures at
sea; but, as previously mentioned, there is
something more than that.
Stevenson created a crepuscular
story of adventure that almost reaches perfection; his sense of rhythm and the
ability to keep constant tension makes Treasure
Island a little gem that inspired countless later stories. Not only
literature, but cinema has not escaped the influence of this story either. Many
movies took as a model this brilliant story about buccaneers, treasures and
lost islands.
Stevenson was careful to add to his
lively, dynamic and flowing narrative a strong mystery factor, and from the
very beginning, at the Almirante Belbow Inn, there looms a storyline in which
secrets and plot twists are already present, and they will practically continue
until the last paragraph of the book.
