If you look up the phrase "rollicking adventure" you will probably find a link to Treasure Island, because lemme tell you this book is rollicking as all hell. There's a reason it's the literal archetype for the modern concept of (and infatuation with) pirates – Long John Silver walked (er, limped) so that Jack Sparrow could run (er, stagger). You can't even get mad at Robert Louis Stevenson for making the protagonist nothing more than a narrative device wearing the clothes of a 13-year-old boy, because the story is just *too damn rollicking.*

I love seeing the hints of Stevenson’s politics within this children’s story. You’d expect the fact that Silver’s wife is Black to be a big deal, given the time period, but it’s just a small detail not relevant to the plot, fleshing out the world.

Empecé La Isla del Tesoro con muy pocas expectativas y me parece que esa fue una de las ventajas a la hora de leer este clásico. La manera en que la historia es contada se me hizo muy ligera, con personajes entrañables pero no necesariamente memorables. Es un libro corto y fácil de leer, ideal si lo que se desea es distraerse con una historia poco profunda y rápida, y sobre todo si se tiene un particular gusto por los cuentos de piratas.
