Descriere completă

Two of the finest adventure stories ever written More people are aware of Robert Louis Stevenson's great novels of high adventure than have ever read the original books, for they are enduring favourites for dramatisation on film, television, radio and the stage. There is a simple explanation for this, and that is that quality abides while mediocrity inevitably fades away. Leonaur has brought together two of these wonderful adventures, Treasure Island and The Black Arrow, in one good-value edition. Stevenson, unlike some contemporary writers of 'historical' fiction, always paints an authentic picture of historical periods whether it is in the maritime world of eighteenth century pirates in 'Treasure Island' or the fifteenth century world of the Wars of the Roses against which the action of 'The Black Arrow' is set. 'The Black Arrow' was written after 'Treasure Island' and though it might not be as well known today, was considered by the author to be a superior book. However, it is almost impossible to undervalue either story. 'Treasure Island' features a host of memorable characters including the immortal Long John Silver in a genre defining adventure in search of buried pirate treasure. 'The Black Arrow' combines a story of murder, treachery and revenge in the medieval world that thunders to a climax of bloody battle involving not only the novel's principal characters but also the driven, sinister figure of Richard of Gloucester-the future infamous Richard III. This is an essential volume for collectors' and a genuine treat for anyone who has yet to read these iconic tales. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
