2. Treasure Island (Illustrated)
An old sailor named Billy Bones comes to lodge in the rural Admiral Benbow Inn on the West English coast. A former shipmate, Black Dog, confronts Bones and engages in a violent fight with him. After Black Dog is run off, a blind beggar named Pew visits to give Bones "the black spot" as a summons to share a map leading to buried treasure. Shortly thereafter, Bones suffers a stroke and dies. Pew and his accomplices attack the inn, but Jim and his mother save themselves while taking Bones's sea chest. Inside the chest, they find a map of an island on which the infamous pirate Captain Flint hid his treasure. Jim shows the map to the local physician Dr. Livesey and the district squire John Trelawney, and they decide to make an expedition to the island, with Jim serving as a cabin boy. They set sail on Trelawney's schooner, the Hispaniola, under Captain Smollett. Much of the crew, as it is later revealed, are pirates who served under Captain Flint, most notable of which is the ship's one-legged chef "Long John" Silver.

4. Stevenson (Annotated)
Robert Louis Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a literary celebrity in his lifetime and remains one of the most translated authors in the world (Currently ranked #26). He was a novelist, poet and a prolific travel writer in an age when moving across nations was arduous and fraught with peril. Stevenson lived his short life to the full. Of the cocaine-fueled writing binge that produced Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde, his wife Fanny said: "That an invalid in my husband"s condition of health should have been able to perform the manual labor alone of putting 60,000 words on paper in six days, seems almost incredible." No Robert Louis Stevenson collection would be complete without Treasure Island, another genre kick-starter which, partly thanks to Disney, remains alive in the public’s imagination; and Kidnapped, Stevenson’s famous “boy’s” novel. There is also The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses, a lesser known historical romance adventure set during England’s Wars of the Roses, and An Inland Voyage, a pioneering work of travel literature by Stevenson about a canoeing trip through France and Belgium in 1876. This collection includes an image gallery with portraits of Stevenson, photographs from his last years in Samoa, copies of first edition book covers and reproductions of many original Victorian illustrations.

9. La freccia nera
Tutto ha inizio con una freccia nera, scagliata in una mite giornata di primavera... Il protagonista, Richard Shelton detto d**k, scopre chi è il responsabile della morte di suo padre e decide di vendicarsi, unendosi alla banda di fuorilegge detta appunto “della Freccia Nera”, che lotta contro i tiranni che da tempo vessano la gente del luogo, tentando di fare giustizia. Regalando al lettore un’atmosfera medievale alla “Robin Hood”, con i banditi nascosti nelle foreste, i frati, i castelli e i cavalieri, La freccia nera offre anche una descrizione storica dell’Inghilterra sotto il regno di Enrico VI: un paese insanguinato da una terribile guerra civile, dove i poveri e i deboli erano vittime dei ricchi e dei potenti e dove soprusi e ingiustizie si susseguivano in continuazione. In questo clima di terrore d**k combatte la sua personale battaglia, lottando per amore della donna che ama: la bellissima Joanna Sedley, rapita dall’assassino di suo padre per essere data in sposa a un altro uomo. Tra fughe, intrighi e tradimenti, d**k diventerà un uomo coraggioso e un condottiero valoroso.

10. Treasure Island
With original illustrations by Louis Rhead. TREASURE ISLAND is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". It was originally serialized in the children"s magazine Young Folks between 1881 through 1882 under the title Treasure Island, or the mutiny of the Hispaniola, credited to the pseudonym "Captain George North". It was first published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co. Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It is also noted as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality-as seen in Long John Silver-unusual for children"s literature. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.

Due eBook in uno! Edizioni integrali italiana e inglese. Two eBooks for the price of one ! Italian and english unabridged editions. Sinossi: Il romanzo si svolge nella Londra vittoriana di fine Ottocento e segue le indagini dell"avvocato Utterson, da sempre buon amico del dottor Henry Jekyll, preoccupato perché questi ha fatto testamento a favore di un certo signor Hyde.

13. Catriona
(1893) Also titled David Balfour A sequel to Kidnapped Dedication To Charles Baxter, Writer to the Signet. My Dear Charles, It is the fate of sequels to disappoint those who have waited for them; and my David, having been left to kick his heels for more than a lustre in the British Linen Company's office, must expect his late re-appearance to be greeted with hoots, if not with missiles. Yet, when I remember the days of our explorations, I am not without hope. There should be left in our native city some seed of the elect; some long-legged, hot-headed youth must repeat to-day our dreams and wanderings of so many years ago; he will relish the pleasure, which should have been ours, to follow among named streets and numbered houses the country walks of David Balfour, to identify Dean, and Silvermills, and Broughton, and Hope Park, and Pilrig, and poor old Lochend--if it still be standing, and the Figgate Whins--if there be any of them left; or to push (on a long holiday) so far afield as Gillane or the Bass. So, perhaps, his eye shall be opened to behold the series of the generations, and he shall weigh with surprise his momentous and nugatory gift of life. You are still--as when first I saw, as when I last addressed you--in the venerable city which I must always think of as my home. And I have come so far; and the sights and thoughts of my youth pursue me; and I see like a vision the youth of my father, and of his father, and the whole stream of lives flowing down there far in the north, with the sound of laughter and tears, to cast me out in the end, as by a sudden freshet, on these ultimate islands. And I admire and bow my head before the romance of destiny. R. L. S., Vailima, Upolu, Samoa, 1892.

14. Il signore di Ballantrae. I grandi classici del romanzo gotico
Ambientato nel periodo delle rivolte giacobite (1745), Il signore di Ballantrae è la tragica e misteriosa storia della rivalità tra due fratelli, rampolli di un’antica casata scozzese. James, il maggiore, è egoista, affascinante, manipolatore e diabolico, capace di incantare chiunque, ed è perciò amato dal padre, dalle donne e da tutti quelli che entrano in contatto con lui. Henry, il fratello minore, è invece silenzioso, modesto, remissivo e disprezzato da familiari e sottoposti. Dopo la notizia della morte di James, partito per entrare nell’esercito del principe Charles allo scopo di sostenere la causa degli Stuart, Henry eredita l’intera fortuna familiare e sposa Alison, fidanzata di James, ancora innamorata di quest’ultimo. Ma James non è morto e improvvisamente ricompare sulla scena per riprendersi la sua parte di eredità e ricoprire d’ignominia il fratello minore, accusandolo di avidità e tradimento. L’innata rivalità tra i due si inasprisce, sfociando nell’odio più feroce, e li condurrà fin nella lontana America, in una sfida all’ultimo sangue. Grazie alla maestria narrativa dell’autore nel delineare vicende, avventure e personaggi e alla sua straordinaria capacità di penetrazione psicologica, Il signore di Ballantrae è considerato da una parte della critica il capolavoro di Stevenson ed ha suscitato l’ammirazione di alcuni tra i più grandi scrittori del mondo, tra cui Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, G.K. Chesterton e Jorge Louis Borges. Quest’ultimo lo amava in modo così appassionato, che, in collaborazione con il suo partner letterario Adolfo Bioy Casares, gli dedicò uno dei suoi scritti per rendere onore al suo splendore. Henry James dichiarò che la sua lettura gli aveva procurato la più grande emozione letteraria che avesse provato nella sua vita. Chesterton paragonò per intensità i capitoli che si svolgono nel castello scozzese dei Durrisdeer alle grandi tragedie greche. Capolavoro della letteratura di tutti i tempi, ricco di fascino, mistero e avventure, Il signore di Ballantrae è un libro che riesce a tenere il lettore col fiato sospeso fino all’ultima riga, coinvolgendolo nelle spire di emozioni straordinariamente intense e lasciandogli un ricordo indelebile.

16. Treasure Island
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Treasure Island is the ultimate pirate adventure story, replete with treasure and an unforgettable cast, including Jim Hawkins, the boy at the centre of the action; Billy Bones, the pirate with the all important treasure map; Captain Alexander Smollet, the stubborn yet loyal captain of the Hispaniola; Israel Hands, ship's coxswain who tries to kill Jim Hawkins but ends up in Davy Jones' Locker; Ben Gunn, a half-insane and marooned ex-pirate; Pew, a blind ex-pirate who dies when trampled by horses; and, of course, Long John Silver, the famous amputee who was formerly Flint's quartermaster but later becomes the leader of Hispaniola's mutineers. Join this cast for a fantastic adventure and treasure hunt, but watch out for the "Black Spot"-a card with a circular black spot in the middle given to an accused. It means the pirate will be overturned as leader, by force if necessary-or else killed outright. Not impressed? You should be-after all, just being tipped with the Black Spot scared poor Billy Bones to death.

Extrait : "Comme j'attendais ainsi, je vis s'avancer vers moi un homme qui sortait d'une pièce voisine et dans lequel je reconnus à l'instant John Silver.
