Treasure Island (Bridge Bilingual Classics) (English-Chinese Bilingual Edition) (Chinese Edition)

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of ¡°pirates and buried gold¡±. First published as a book on 23rd May 1883, it was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881¨C82 under the title Treasure Island.

Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, it is an adventure tale known for its atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality¡ªas seen in Long John Silver¡ªunusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an ¡°X¡±, schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.

《金银岛》是十九世纪出生在英国苏格兰爱丁堡的著名文学家罗伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森一生最畅销的小说之一。作家的成名小说《金银岛》独树一帜，极富神奇浪漫色彩，其笔下的金银岛就是如今古巴的特别行政区：青年岛。它过去叫金银岛，也叫松树岛。在西班牙漫长的四个世纪殖民统治岁月里，那里是举世闻名的加勒比海盗呼啸聚众的天堂，那些逃犯和海盗在海上到处流窜，追击西班牙运输金银财宝和商货的船只，把抢来的金银财宝和商货运到这座荒无人烟的小岛上，藏于神秘的山洞里，慢慢享用。金银岛因此得名。
