An immersive reading of the complete novel.
Read along, word by word.
Treasure Island (1883) follows young Jim Hawkins, who comes into possession of a dead pirate's map and joins the squire and the doctor on a voyage to recover the buried hoard of the notorious Captain Flint. Aboard the Hispaniola is the affable, terrifying Long John Silver — sea-cook, mutineer, and one of the most enduring villains in English fiction — whose loyalties bend toward whichever way the wind and the gold may run. The book that fixed the popular image of pirates in the imagination forever: black flags, buried chests, parrots on shoulders, X marks the spot.
