Set in the eighteenth century, Treasure Island spins the tale of Jim Hawkins aboard the Hispaniola as he journeys across the Spanish Main in search for buried treasure on an exotic isle.

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of “buccaneers and buried treasure”.

It sets the beginning of popular pirate perceptions such as treasure maps marked with an “X”, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.
