Treasure Island Book Summary

 

This is a story few boy named Jim Hawkins who lives in England together with his mother and father at the family’s inn. A loud and drunk man whose name is Billy Bones rents a room from the Hawkins and warns Jim to be aware of a one-legged man. After Jim’s father died, Billy Bones is visited by a couple of buccaneers who always threaten to kill him, revealing that Billy Bones was the first mate to the notorious pirate. Captain Flint, Billy Bones dies of a stroke and Jim searches through his belongings and finds a treasure map to Flint’s treasure. The buccaneers break into the family's inn and try to find the map, but Jim and his mother hide safely. As Jim’s mother stays to watch the family's inn, Jim seeks the help of Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney.

They decide to go after the treasure and Squire Trelawney funds the expedition by buying a ship, the Hispaniola, and hiring a crew with the help of a one-legged cook named Long John Silver. After hiring Captain Smollett, the voyage begins, although the captain is always hesitant about the crew. As the journey begins after sometime, Jim overhears Long John Silver talking to a few others about their plan to kill the Captain and the Squire so that they can get the treasure themselves.

Jim warned Captain Smollett and they prepare for a fight as the island just spotted on the horizon. Captain Smollett allows John and some of the crew to spend their afternoon on the island as Jim sneaks on a boat to shore. As soon as the boat hits the beach, Jim took the chance to takes off and runs. Jim meets a person name Ben Gunn, a former mate of Flint who has been marooned on the island for a couple of years. Meanwhile, Captain Smollett, Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and a few others get on a ship and row to the island to flee the mutiny by Long John’s men aboard the Hispaniola. As they were out for a long time they are low on supplies but reunite with Jim.

The group takes refuge in a house-like structure waiting for an attack from Long John and the pirates. Seeing this Long John appears and wants to talk terms, but Captain Smollett refuses. The pirates decided to attack and due to this fight many of the pirates are killed. Just after that Dr. Livesey leaves to seek out Ben Gunn, while Jim sneaks away to Ben Gunn’s handmade boat to chop the anchor of the Hispaniola. Jim succeeds, but is shipped adrift with the present . Jim eventually drifts back to the Hispaniola and takes the control of the ship, leading it toward the island. Jim returns to the house-like structure, expecting to ascertain his comrades, but is instead greeted by Long John and his group. Long John explains to Jim that there's a truce whereby they got the map by Dr. Livesey with the promise of being left alone by the pirates.

Dr. Livesey visits Jim and offers him a chance to escape, but Jim refuses after promising to not run away. Long John faces mutiny among the pirates, but survives, as he was leading the group to the treasure. The pirates arrive at the treasure location, but discover that it has been dug up. Fighting ensues and Dr. Livesey and Ben Gunn rescue Jim and Long John. They visit the security of Ben Gunn’s cave, where he has stored the treasure after having dug it up himself. The treasure is loaded onto the Hispaniola and therefore the men sail away, leaving a number of the pirates behind. During the journey home, Long John escapes on a ship with a sack of gold. In the end, they all return to England and split the treasure earned.
