Treasure Island (ill. by E. Komrakova)

Adventure literature is one of the most popular genres among readers of all ages and, first and foremost, of course, among teenagers. This new edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novel “Treasure Island” will make a wonderful gift for readers aged 10 to 16! For decades, this book has remained immensely popular. It has everything: mysteries and secrets, cunning villains and noble gentlemen, a long journey and exotic landscapes. And, of course, piles of gold and jewels! The novel’s success among Russian readers is largely due to the superb, truly classic translation by Nikolai Korneyevich Chukovsky. The translation has spawned countless quotations, and “Treasure Island” fans recognize one another by their favorite catchphrases: “Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest…”, “Those of you who survive will envy the dead!” and, of course, “Some feared Phew, others Flint. But Flint himself was afraid of me!”. The illustrations by Moscow artist Ekaterina Komrakova fully immerse us in the romance of sea adventures. Vivid, distinctive images of the characters come to life before our eyes. And you will never regret spending several fascinating hours with this book! Gift-format edition. Hardcover with partial varnishing. White paper. Clear, large typeface.
