Treasure Island (Modern English Translation)

Have you ever wanted to read a book published in the 19th century, but found the language too outdated or difficult to read? This edition of "Treasure Island" updates the vocabulary and language style of the original 1883 novel, making it easier to read for a modern audience. Peg-legged pirates, colorful parrots, and plundered riches-they're all here in Robert Louis Stevenson's classic seafaring adventure. When young Jim Hawkins decides to follow a map to buried treasure, he must befriend or outsmart memorable characters such as pirate Long John Silver, captain Billy Bones, and island man Ben Gunn. Mutinous plans, mysterious deaths, and a tangle of double crosses keep Jim guessing all the way to the prize. Inspired by real-life seafarers, Stevenson captures the adventurous spirit of the times and the imagination of readers, young and old alike.
