When he attends a dying patron of his family's boarding house, young Jim Hawkins has no idea that the man was once a pirate, or that the man's possessions include a map that will lead whoever has it to the island where the notorious buccaneer, Captain Flint, buried his treasure. Jim and his guardians hire a boat to sail to the island, unaware that crew they have hired includes many members of Flint's pirate band, among them former quartermaster Long John Silver, and that they hope to claim the treasure for their own. The ensuing action-packed adventure established the classic pirate story as it was written for more than a century afterward, and it made the literary reputation of its young author, Robert Louis Stevenson.

Following the demise of bloodthirsty buccaneer Captain Flint, young Jim Hawkins finds himself with the key to a fortune. For he has discovered a map that will lead him to the fabled Treasure Island.

Treasure Island is the seminal pirates and buried treasure novel, which is so brilliantly concocted that it appeals to readers both young and old. The story is told in the first person by young Jim Hawkins, whose mother keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn. An old seadog, a resident at the inn, hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors whom he fears but, despite all precautions, the old man is served with the black spot which means death. Among the dead man's belongings Jim discovers a map showing the location of the buried treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint. It is not long before he, along with Doctor Livesey and Squire Trelawney, sets sail to find the treasure. However, amongst the hired hands is the one-legged Long John Silver who has designs on the treasure for himself.
The continuing fascination with this tale of high drama, buried treasure and treachery bears out what Stevenson wrote about the book to his friend W. E. Henley: 'if this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.' The book not only continues to 'fetch the kids' but the grown-ups too – in fact all those with the spirit of adventure in their hearts.
'Is it me you love, friend? or the race that made me?'

Doktor Jekyll był pewien, że jego przypuszczenia muszą być prawdziwe: człowiek nie był jeden, ale dwa w jednym ciele i musiał istnieć jakiś sposób oddzielenia tych dwóch elementów, uwolnienia jego dobrego ja od złego ja. W tym celu pracował i pracował w swoim laboratorium, dopóki nie znalazł rozwiązania: napoju, który musiał go przekształcić.

Wyspa skarbów / Treasure Island z podręcznym słownikiem angielsko-polskim - piracki okręt Hispaniola, Długi John Silver, tajemnicza mapa i poszukiwanie ukrytego skarbu… Każdy, kto choć raz marzył, by być piratem i wieść życie pełne przygód, powinien przeczytać „Wyspę skarbów”. Ta przygodowa powieść jest pełnokrwistą historią o, czasami okrutnych, czasami honorowych, ale zawsze barwnych morskich awanturnikach w epoce ich panowania na morzach i oceanach. Obraz osiemnastowiecznego pirata, jaki mamy przed oczami wyobraźni, pochodzi właśnie z książki Roberta Louisa Stevensona. To ten autor stworzył ikoniczne postacie, pirackie zwyczaje i legendy o skarbach - z czasem przerodziły się one w fantastyczne mity, które - nie tylko dzieci - pobudzają do okrzyku: „Ahoj przygodo!”.
Doktor Dolittle i jego zwierzęta / The Story of Doctor Dolittle z podręcznym słownikiem angielsko-polskim (Doktor Dolittle i jego zwierzęta) autorstwa Hugh Johna Loftinga po raz pierwszy wydana w 1920r. zaliczana jest do klasyki literatury dziecięcej. Głównym bohaterem książki jest tytułowy dr John Dolittle. Lekarz, którego pewnego dnia jego papuga Polinezja, uczy języka zwierząt. Dzięki temu zostaje weterynarzem. Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w pierwszej połowie XIX wieku. Doktor bardzo kocha zwierzęta i surowo przeciwstawia się, gdy są one źle traktowane. Pewnego dnia doktor otrzymuje informację z Afryki, że małpy potrzebują pomocy.
‘Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!’ Treasure Island is a tale of pirates and villains, maps, treasure and shipwreck, and is perhaps the best adventure story ever written.
When young Jim Hawkins finds a packet in Captain Flint's sea chest, he could not know that the map inside it would lead him to unimaginable treasure. Shipping as cabin boy on the Hispaniola, he sails with Squire Trelawney, Captain Smollett, Dr Livesey, the sinister Long John Silver and a frightening crew to Treasure Island. There, mutiny, murder and mayhem lead to a thrilling climax.
Set in Scotland in 1751, Kidnapped remains one of the most exciting stories ever written. Young David Balfour, orphaned then betrayed by his Uncle Ebenezer, his so-called guardian, falls in with Alan Breck, the unscrupulous but heroic champion of the Jacobite cause. Shipwreck, murder and dramatic escape through the Highlands are just a few of the ingredients of this highly charged tale of intrigue, action and adventure.
Catriona, the lesser-known sequel, immediately continues David's story. Back in Edinburgh, he is caught up in the aftermath of the Appin murder; certain of the accused man's innocence, David's determination to testify on his behalf is impeded by a series of adventures, not least of which is hid passionate but problematic romance with Catriona, granddaughter of Rob Roy MacGregor. Alan Breck features again, becoming involved in the thrilling attempt to reunite the lovers. One of his own favourites, Stevenson said of Catriona that he would 'never do a better book'.
