The extraordinary illustrations for the book "Treasure Island" were created by the famous Italian artist Libico Maraja. His contemporaries referred to him as the Master of Image in classical book illustration. It is no coincidence that the characters and stories brought to life by his brush possess astonishing expressiveness, unique traits, and special color. The artist himself called the illustrated book a theater, in whose diversity lies life itself.
The adventure novel by R.L. Stevenson, "Treasure Island," is a gripping story told from the perspective of Jim Hawkins, a curious and brave young man. Fate has prepared for him numerous dangers: an encounter with a mysterious pirate in his father's inn, a journey on a ship as a cabin boy, and adventures on Treasure Island itself in search of the treasure. The teenager faces trials that will give him the chance to prove himself.
Libico Maraja's illustrated collection includes the following books: L. Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," "Through the Looking-Glass," H.-C. Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling. Fairy Tales," J. Barry's "Peter Pan," and R.L. Stevenson's "Treasure Island."
