When they arrived at Treasure Island, the two sides officially started fighting. Can Jim Hawkins and his friends find the treasure and return home smoothly with their wit and bravery?
In the process of gradually getting to know Silver, Jim Hawkins learned about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor, and truly grew up.
In addition, the characters in the book that have left a deep impression on young readers include: the terrifying blind beggar Pew, the crazy Ben Gunn who was exiled to the island, the cursed parrot, etc., Which are full of fun.
Reader comments
Especially the battle of wits between him and Silver made me so nervous that I couldn't breathe. Moreover, there are many interesting characters in the book, such as the parrot who can curse, which adds a lot of interest to the story. Reading this book is like following Jim on an adventure, very exciting!
The wonderful story of Treasure Island needs no more praise from me. As far as this translation is concerned, I personally think it is probably the best translation among the versions including the most widely read version. The writing is smooth, the language is handled appropriately, and it feels like "it should be like this" when reading.
