Treasure Island, Written As A Boy'S Adventure Story, Has Remained A Classic Ever Since It Was First Published In 1883. It Is Not Only Skillfully Wrought, But It Also Embodies A Carefully Worked Out Moral Pattern And One Which Presents A Dilemma Rather Than Solves A Problem. It Is Not Merely A Boy'S Adventure Story But One That Raises Moral Ambiguities Of The Profoundest Nature.
