The extraordinary illustrations for the book "Treasure Island" were created by the famous Italian artist Libico Maraja.... His contemporaries called him the Master of Image in classical book illustration. It is not surprising that the heroes and plots created by his brush acquire amazing expressiveness, unique features, and special color. The artist himself referred to the illustrated book as a theater, in the diversity of which life itself is contained.
The adventure novel by R.-L. Stevenson "Treasure Island" is an exciting story told from the perspective of Jim Hawkins, a curious and brave young man. Fate prepares him for many dangers: an encounter with a mysterious pirate in his father's tavern, a voyage on a ship as a cabin boy, and adventures on Treasure Island itself in search of treasure. The teenager faces challenges that will give him a chance to prove himself.
The collection with illustrations by Libico Maraja includes books: L. Carroll "Alice in Wonderland," "Through the Looking-Glass," H.-C. Andersen "The Ugly Duckling. Tales," J. Barry "Peter Pan," and R.-L. Stevenson "Treasure Island."
