The opening
How “Treasure Island” begins
Squire Trelawney, Doctor Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17—, and go back to the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow Inn, and the brown old seaman, with the saber cut, first took up his lodging under our roof.

About the book
Why Treasure Island is a great book to read in English
A dead sailor's sea-chest, a map with an X, and a one-legged cook whose parrot screams 'pieces of eight': Jim Hawkins's voyage is the template for every treasure hunt since. Stevenson's 1883 adventure is brisk and visual, with just enough nautical salt to learn some unforgettable vocabulary.
On LangOrbit you read “Treasure Island” with a safety net: the translation is one tap away when a sentence runs long, every word opens its meaning in context and can be saved for spaced-repetition review, and the grammar behind the trickier lines is explained right where you meet it.
