"Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17 and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof. I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow—a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards."
"Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson was first published as a book in 1883. The influence of «Treasure Island» on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous. Robert Louis Stevensons novel became one of the most frequently dramatized narrations worldwide.

Le jeune Jim Hawkins est le fils du gérant de l'auberge " L'Amiral-Benbow ". Un jour, un vieux loup de mer chargé d'un coffre, et nommé Billy Bones, débarque à l'auberge et s'y installe. Jim est tout à la fois fasciné et terrifié par ce marin colérique, violent et ivrogne, d'autant qu'une obscure menace semble planer sur ce dernier. La menace se précise lorsque Pew, un pirate aveugle, arrive à l'auberge et donne à Billy Bones " la tache noire ", annonciatrice de mort dans le monde des pirates. Alors que les heures de Billy Bones sont comptées, il meurt, foudroyé par une crise d'apoplexie, tandis qu'au même moment, le père de Jim meurt d'une grave maladie. Ce dernier était soigné par le docteur Livesey. Ils partent dans le village voisin pour ramener du monde, pour les aider contre la bande de Flint, un groupe de pirates, qui n'allait pas tarder… Mais personne ne vient. En France, L'Île au trésor (titre original : Treasure Island) paraît pour la première fois en 1885.

"Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove."
"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a gothic novel and crime story by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in 1886. «Jekyll and Hyde» marked a great success for Stevenson.
