Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling high-seas adventure! Now with waves crashing and swords clashing, a pirate tale like you've never heard before!

For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of fans. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil.

A seafaring stranger comes to the Admiral Benbow Inn, and young Jim Hawkins begins the journey of a lifetime. In this spirited production, veteran narrator BJ Harrison makes you feel as though you are sitting alongside Long John Silver and his pirate crew as they plot and scheme their way to treasure.

This is the essence of anarchism, which has a bad name and reputation because it attacks the necessity of centralised power and authority.

With buried treasure, treacherous buccaneers, a young hero, and Long John Silver, the one-legged villain, Treasure Island remains one of the most popular of pirate adventures.

"Fábulas" es la recopilación póstuma de cuatro relatos de Robert Louis Stevenson. Autores como Jorge Luis Borges la han considerado una de las obras más originales y de mayor calidad del autor escocés. Una fábula, como decía su autor, tenía que sorprender al lector por su audacia y combinar siempre lo onírico con lo alegórico sin ofrecer soluciones fáciles o únicas a un problema que se planteara. Era el lector el que debía estar alerta para encontrar en la mitología de la fábula la justicia.
