Treasure Island, R. L. Stevenson
Wednesday, October 17
3:35, SLC Jittery Joe’s
“Treasure Island” almost immediately found innumerable readers, and ever since has been one of the world’s most beloved books. It has been translated into heaven knows how many languages, has been adapted heaven knows how many times for films, the stage and television, and generally has worked its way into the public consciousness to a degree achieved by few other books. It is at once a thrilling adventure story and an acute psychological study of men in groups; it can be read with pleasure and profit at many levels.” – from Jonathan Yardley’s “reconsideration” of the book in the Washington Post, April 17, 2006
Treasure Island has been scanned by Project Gutenberg and is available in its entirety on their site.
All Bulldog Book Club programs are Blue Card events.
