The famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, accompanied by a detailed historical and everyday commentary, dedicated to the seafaring in England in the 18th century and the "golden age" of piracy. Drawings, engravings, maps, pages from books of that time, interactive elements help to recreate the living atmosphere of the era. In England, near Bristol, in the tavern "Admiral Benbow", in the room of the old captain, in a sailor's chest, in an oilcloth package, is reliably hidden what the adventures known to every boy begin with. We will go to England of the 18th century with this book, to immediately go to sea and comprehend all the intricacies of the sea on a long voyage to Treasure Island. Here, behind the text of a familiar novel, the era comes to life, and in the stories of Captain Flint, the terrible history of piracy appears before our eyes. Here you can examine every corner of the schooner from the cross-mast to the keelson, look into Dr. Livesey's chest, recruit a ship's crew together with Squire Trelawney, learn how to keep a ship's log, plot a course, count piastres and muadors, shoot a musket and a cannon, learn all about Yellow Jack, about reefs and backstays, about the Execution Dock, about the Dry Tortugas Islands and about the robbers' nests in the Spanish Sea. And also... - Map of Treasure Island - Rope and instructions on tying sea knots - Detailed reconstruction of the three-masted 200-ton schooner Hispaniola - Billy Bones' chest - Catalog of pirate flags - Naval officer's gun chest - Life-size ship ropes - Three-dimensional brig changing tacks - Blockhouse defense plan - Detailed biographies of famous pirates - A real black mark.
