the south described in the book is undoubtedly interesting. However, no less vivid is the story that tells how Stevenson created Treasure Island. If in many books “there was a word in the beginning”, then this work represents the true ideal of the “pirate adventure” genre, since here at the beginning there was a map. That's exactly what happened, because Robert Stevenson drew a plan of the seas and islands to attract the attention of his stepson. Then he began to tell him about the characters that were invented around this map. Initially, all of his stories were tales of sailors heard by Stevenson in childhood. After the circle of heroes expanded, new
ships, pirates, the famous dead man's chest, and, of course, evil fighters appeared.
Piracy at the time of writing the novel was already going through the sunset, so Robert did not show the corsairs ’struggle with the ships, not the
extraction of gold, but looters-marauders who could kill each other for money. They had no family, friends or homeland behind them; they fought to live rich. But all the amusing adventures of Stevenson of these villains reflect only the secondary line of the book, and the main idea of ​​the novel is as old as the world - the ultimate victory of good. Moreover, the path to it does not lie through brute force, cunning or cruelty. He is trodden by a young boy, confident and not ruined by life.
This is not to say that Robert did not condemn evil, he did it ironically, through laughter. But one energetic pirate still earned his freedom and treasures.

That is what gave him worldwide fame. And for a whole era, people of different ages "swallow" this book with rapture.
