"One day I drew a map of the island; it was painstakingly colored; its curves caught my imagination in a most extraordinary way; there were coves that captivated me like sonnets. When I dropped a wistful glance at the map of my Treasure Island, the characters of my future book stirred in the midst of the invented forests" - so wrote Stevenson, recalling where the novel began, which became the main adventure reading for many generations of readers.
Characters and images of this fascinating book from childhood live in our memory: one-legged pirate John Silver with a parrot perched on his shoulder and exclaiming: "Piasters, piasters!", Billy Bones, whose trunk contained a map of the famous island with the hidden treasure of pirate Captain Flint, the terrible black mark in the hand of a blind pirate, young Jim Hawkins, the main character of the novel, Dr. Livesey, wise, practical and human... It is not surprising that the book has had many interpretations and sequels, especially since its author himself left enough broken threads in the text, giving reason for further development of the theme.
