The author of this book, Stevenson, is both a storyteller and a novelist. He is a literary figure, a poet, and deeply understands the psychology of children. This story was created during his vacation when he drew a map of Treasure Island for his children and added wonderful imagination. The features of this storybook are its ever-changing plot, like the waves of the sea, continuous and rising one after another, tightly gripping the readers' hearts. However, this storybook does not rely solely on its plot to win readers over. What is more important is the central theme reflected in these plots. The name of the novel is Treasure Island (also translated as The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), but it tells readers that what is truly valuable is not gold and silver, but the love of humanity and a sense of justice. The group of pirates fighting for the treasure is the opposite—Jim is the central character, who is kind and clear about right and wrong. In the struggle for the treasure, his ingenuity and courage are unleashed, and he ultimately achieves victory. Jim's counterpart, Silas, is also a character with a distinct personality. He can also be described as clever and brave, but he chooses the path of evil, so he is ultimately rejected by people.
