Sobre este artículo
Prideaux notes that TREASURE ISLAND was first issued in several different colors of cloth with no priority, however the first print run of 2000 copies was split into groups issued over a few months at the end of 1883. The ads of this copy mark it as one of the last bindings in the first printing. 7.5'' x 4.75''. Original sage green cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine. Black coated endpapers, uncut edges. Color cartographic frontispiece with tissue guard. "Dead Man's Chest" not capitalized on pp. 2 and 7; "7" on page 127 stamped in and rear ads dated "5R-10.83" (first edition, first printing, 2/3/4 binding; ref. McKay 241). 292, [8] pages. Housed in custom green cloth clamshell with gilt spine lettering. Faded ownership inscription to half-title page, dated October 30 1883; "first edition" in faint blue ink to verso of front fly leaf. Hinges expertly repaired. Binding with light bumping to corners and spine ends, a bit of faint soiling; a touch of toning to spine. Leaves with occasional soiling to margins, barely visible repair to corner of rear flyleaf. Firm and clean.
Sinopsis
Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks under the title The Sea Cook over a period of several months from 1881-82. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is the classic pirate tale, known for its superb atmosphere, character and action. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.
