| Summary | "Aarresaari" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the adventures of young Jim Hawkins, who becomes embroiled in a world of pirates, treasure maps, and danger after a mysterious old seaman named Captain Bill Bones takes refuge in his father's inn. Jim's life takes a thrilling turn when he discovers a treasure map that sets him on a perilous journey alongside a mix of seafarers, including the infamous Long John Silver. At the start of the story, the setting is introduced with Jim Hawkins narrating the events surrounding the arrival of Captain Bill Bones at the "Amiraali Benbow" inn. The old mariner, described as intimidating and scarred, brings a sense of unease to Jim’s home. Jim recounts the captain’s odd behaviors, including his apprehensiveness toward other sailors and his cryptic references to a one-legged pirate. As tension builds, Jim's life is further complicated when Bones encounters another sailor known as the Black Dog, culminating in a violent confrontation that foreshadows the dangers that lie ahead. The opening chapters establish a gripping atmosphere filled with suspense and intrigue, prompting readers to anticipate the adventures that Jim will face in the pursuit of treasure.
