Editors' word:

Stevenson feared that he had dived too deeply into the past when, at the end of the 19th century, he decided to write about the second half of the 18th century. He could see his customer hesitate and purse his lips. We have no such fear. This is the perfect adventure romance.

Without the slightest hesitation, we built for him this intricate frame of comments and now, with some regret, let him out of our hands, because the work is finished. After several years of labor, passing the book to readers, we are preparing to follow its fate.

She is very large and insanely beautiful. It is about the past hidden behind boring numbers and complicated words.

There, behind statistics, lively smells and sounds: a strong tar spirit, the sound of waves and the singing of sailors; the taste of adventure, fingertip tickling delight mixed with fear. This is the romance of discoverers and reckless robbers, a funny confusion of science and superstition, a naive neighborhood of sophistication and luridness. That special sensation, an inexpressible feature by which, looking at a thing or a picture, one can almost unmistakably determine belonging to a particular time.

It is this elusive essence that we tried so hard to convey in the book: in engravings, maps and diagrams, fonts and vignettes, in the numerous commentaries themselves.

During the work on the book, both pirates and honest sailors have become almost dear to us. We really hope that readers will share our sympathy and, forgetting about everything, set off on a fascinating voyage along the waves of the past. To find your Treasure Island.

In September this year, Labyrinth Press published a new book of the Book + Era project, an interactive and commentary edition of Treasure Island. The entire circulation ended by mid-November. And the book was ripe in time in a new gift design. Inside, it is exactly the same as the first, it differs only in the cover. Set sail on the legendary Hispaniola with Stevenson's heroes! In the margins of the book you will find an account of maritime affairs in 18th century England and the "golden age" of piracy - drawings, prints, maps, pages from books of the time, notes and interactive elements recreate the vibrant atmosphere of the era. “With my hand I grabbed the jumper, and my foot fell between the headquarters and the brace ...” The head of the children's literature editorial board Katerina Buntman tells what treasures are hidden inside the book, why comments are so important, what to look for on page 124, and how a two-hundred-ton three-masted schooner is arranged ... Book Guide We have made a special guide to the book. Here you can flip through it, view maps, explore Hispaniola's device, learn nautical vocabulary, and learn to knot. Readers say Elioza compares the two editions of Treasure Island: 1. The deluxe print is slightly brighter, the color rendition is different - the peer-reviewed edition uses blue for illustrations, and the deluxe edition uses pale purple. I personally liked the second option more. 2. The gift option is more thought out in details, there are some changes, albeit minor ones. For example, in this book, the pasted page unfolds in one direction, and in the deluxe edition - in the other, which is more convenient for reading. The impression is that in the deluxe version some shortcomings of the previous edition were corrected. However, no - not shortcomings, but, let's say, some not fully thought out moments. Read in full Thorn: The interactivity of the edition is beyond praise, at the moment it is actually the best edition of Ostrov since its first publication in Russian, although perhaps not only in Russian. The publication itself is more of an overdeveloped commentary on the novel than a novel with a commentary, which in no way spoils the overall impression when reading. Over the course of time, this book can become a serious historical source, even if not for piracy of the 18th century, but for book publishing in the 21st century. Chernysheva Svetlana: There are a lot of gift editions now. And with rhinestones and sparkles. Fairies, dragons, and whatever. And this is the Book. She has her own character. And it is clear that it was created not only for the sake of piastres, but also with great pleasure. Therefore, it is special. And I am glad that I have such a miracle at home. And here you can read all 80 reviews about the book.
