Plot

The events of the novel take place around the middle of the 18th century (at the beginning of the book, Livesey mentions his participation in the historical battle of Fontenoy, which took place on May 11, 1745; in Billy Bones's diary there is a date of June 12, 1745; events take place from February to September, on the map islands dated July 1754). They begin in the southwest of England, near the city of Bristol, in the Admiral Benbow inn, in 1765.

One day, a new guest moves into the tavern - former sailor Billy Bones. The guest has a gloomy and unsociable character, and is also burdened by chronic alcoholism. After some time, strange guests begin to come to him. The first is a pirate named Black Dog, an old friend of Billy. They fight, Bones injures Chernum the Dog, but he escapes. Billy is then visited by the scary blind beggar pirate Pew, who gives him black mark- a stern warning to those who violate the interests of the team. Billy, having received the mark, decides to urgently leave the tavern, but suddenly dies of apoplexy. Jim and his mother, to whom Billy owes money for billeting, search the dead sailor and his belongings. At the bottom of his chest they find money and a package of papers. From these papers it becomes clear that Bones was the navigator (eng. first mate) on the ship of the famous captain Flint and owned a map of the island where Flint buried his treasures.

Jim barely manages to take Flint's papers from under the noses of blind Pugh and his pirates, who attack the Admiral Benbow inn at night in order to take possession of the map. Bones, Black Dog, blind Pew and the rest are former members of the crew of the Walrus, Captain Flint's pirate ship. Suddenly, a squad of royal customs officers comes to the aid of Jim and his mother. Blind Pew accidentally dies under the hooves of a horse, and the rest of the pirates flee - their retreat is covered by the crew of the pirate lugger, on which their accomplices are located.

Jim goes to Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney and shows them papers and documents. Wealthy Trelawney begins preparations for the voyage and instructs the businessman Blandley to equip a suitable ship for the voyage - the schooner Hispaniola.

The captain of the Hispaniola, Mr. Smollett, expresses great doubts about the reliability of the team, and in particular does not trust his assistant, navigator Arrow, but yields to the persuasion of Doctor Livesey and the condescension of Trelawney. The Hispaniola begins its voyage from Bristol to Treasure Island. During the voyage, navigator Arrow drank a lot and one stormy night disappears from the ship; in addition, Jim manages to overhear a secret conversation between sailor Dick, the “second” boatswain Israel Hands and the cook, one-legged John Silver, nicknamed Ham (Barbecue), he aka Long John. It turns out that the team Trelawney hired is mostly made up of Flint's former team, and Silver is the captain of the conspirators whose goal is to seize the treasure. Jim learns that there are significantly more pirates on the ship than honest people. He hears that Silver and his pirates are going to kill all honest people. The pirates put pressure on Silver and urge him to quickly attack Captain Smollett and the others, but Silver understands that the gang will not be able to chart a course on their own, since none of the pirates have the appropriate education. Silver's plan is to wait until the squire, captain, doctor and others find the treasure and load it onto the ship, wait until the experienced captain Smolett brings the ship “at least to the trade wind” and only then kill all the goodies.

Meanwhile, the ship sails to Treasure Island. Silver sees his plan starting to fall apart. The pirates almost openly ignore the orders of Captain Smollett and behave quite aggressively. Jim tells the captain, the squire and the doctor what he heard. The heroes realize that they are in trouble. Smollett decides to clear the air and invites the team to go ashore. The captain's plan is to surprise the pirates left on the ship, attack them and capture the Hispaniola. The captain's plan would have worked if Jim had not sailed away on one of the boats with the pirates. So the captain proposes a new plan. On the map he sees that there is an old Flint fort on the island. The captain suggests moving to the fort and fighting the pirates on the island. The heroes collect gunpowder, weapons, food, get into a skiff and sail away from the ship. The pirates, taken by surprise by these actions, prepare to fire on the skiff. In the skiff are the captain, doctor, squire, Hunter, Joyce, Redruth and Abraham Gray - a sailor from the crew whom the pirates wanted, but could not win over to their side. Hands tries to sink the skiff by firing at it from a cannon. The squire kills one of the pirates. Soon the heroes, having lost Tom Redruth's servant, who died in battle, reach the fort and settle down in it. The captain gives everyone positions. The heroes are ready for long battles.

Meanwhile, Jim reaches shore with the pirates and escapes. After some time, he witnesses the murder of the honest sailor Tom by John Silver. From the wild scream it becomes clear that another honest sailor, Alan, was also killed by the pirates. Jim runs, confused about the road, and meets a man dressed in goat skins and acting very strangely. This man reports that he is a repentant former pirate named Ben Gunn. Ben asks Jim to arrange a meeting with the doctor. Jim sees the British flag flying and hurries to his friends.

The next day, Silver comes to the fort with a white flag. Captain Smollett comes out to negotiate. Silver offers to give him the map in exchange for the fact that the pirates will leave the people alone and send the first ship they encounter to their rescue. Smollett harshly refuses Silver and warns that all negotiations are over. Captain Silver leaves, promising that in an hour they will begin the attack. Pirates attacked the fort. A shootout began. The pirates climbed over the stockade. It came to hand-to-hand combat. As a result, the pirates had to retreat, many of them were killed. There were also losses among the fort's defenders - Hunter and Joyce were killed, Captain Smollett received two gunshot wounds.

Jim conveys Ben Gunn's request to the doctor. The doctor takes pistols, a dirk, puts a map in his pocket, hangs a musket on his shoulder and leaves. Unable to bear being in the fort, Jim takes a supply of crackers, two pistols, a knife and makes a sortie. He comes ashore and decides to see what is happening on the Hispaniola. Jim finds Ben Gunn's shuttle and, after waiting for the tide to go out, swims up to the ship. Jim reaches the ship and realizes that the boatswain Hands and the Irishman O'Brien, who remained to guard the ship, are drunk. He cuts the anchor rope and climbs aboard. In the morning he finds Hands wounded and O'Brien killed. Under the leadership of Hands, Jim brings the ship to the Northern parking lot, now no one knows about the whereabouts of the ship. Hands tries to kill Jim, but Jim accidentally shoots him with his pistols. Hands falls into the water and drowns.

Jim returns to the fort, but discovers pirates there and becomes a hostage. Silver refuses to kill Jim, explaining to the pirates that it is impossible to kill a hostage. Silver's behavior, clearly playing a double game, outrages the pirates. Silver is given a “black mark” and demands re-election as captain. However, Silver explains his behavior. He entered into an agreement with Captain Smollett: in exchange for a map, food supplies and a fort, the pirates allowed the heroes to leave. No one can understand why this was necessary. Silver remains the leader, his authority only growing.

The next day, Dr. Livesey comes for a visit. He examines and treats the feverish pirates and asks Silver for permission to talk to Jim. Silver releases Jim to talk with the doctor, taking his word of honor that he will not run away. The doctor persuades Jim to run, but he refuses. Jim tells the doctor where the ship is hidden.

The pirates, taking Jim with them, go looking for treasure. They soon come across a skeleton. Silver realizes that this compass is one of Flint's jokes. Suddenly the pirates hear Flint's voice. They stop in horror. Silver convinces everyone that this is the voice of a living person, since everyone heard the echo. Soon the pirates recognize Ben Gunn's voice. The pirates continue on their way and find a huge hole. It becomes clear that the treasure has already been found, and it was for this reason that the doctor gave the map. They are about to attack Silver and Jim, but Dr. Livesey, Abraham Gray and Ben Gunn ambush the pirates and kill the pirate with Durk's bandaged head. George Merry was shot by Silver, the rest take flight.

It turned out that Gann had long ago found the treasure and transferred it to his cave. For several days the heroes dragged the treasures onto the ship. They soon sailed away from the island, leaving behind the three surviving pirates. Silver manages to disappear into one of the ports, taking part of the treasure. Ben Gunn helped do this because he was mortally afraid of him.

Returning to England, the heroes became rich people. Only Ben Gunn squandered all his treasures in a few days. Trelawney took him to work as a gatekeeper at the park.

Returning to England, the heroes became rich people, each disposing of their share in their own way: some wisely, like Gray, who took up maritime studies and became a navigator and co-owner of the ship. And only Ben Gunn spent his thousand pounds in just nineteen days. Trelawney took him to work as a gatekeeper at the park.

He could not participate in the voyage of the Hispaniola, since he was known to Jim Hawkins as a pirate and treasure hunter.
Nick Allardyce- a pirate with red hair, along with five other pirates, was taken by Flint to the island to bury treasure and was killed there. He took the pirate Tom Morgan's knife with him to the island and remained indebted to him. From Allardyce's body, Captain Flint made a compass that showed where the treasure lay. In L. R. Delderfield's book "The Adventures of Ben Gunn" (where the name was invented, only the surname was known in the author's text) he was Ben Gunn's best friend and mentor.
Darby McGraw- a pirate, and probably Captain Flint's bodyguard. Mentioned by Ben Gunn when he portrayed the dying Captain Flint.
Navigator Arrow(eng. Arrow) - the first navigator of Hispaniola. He was recommended by Silver, but did not enjoy authority or respect from the team. He turned out to be a drunkard, he drank a lot during the voyage, and John Silver supplied him with alcohol from his hiding place, which, apparently, was part of the conspirators’ plan. One stormy night he disappeared from the ship under unclear circumstances. Captain Smollett decided that the navigator had fallen overboard. What actually happened to Arrow is never explained, but Job Anderson became the new navigator.
Alan And Volume- honest sailors killed by pirates on the first day of the mutiny. Tom was killed by John Silver, Alan by Job Anderson.
Jim Hawkins' mother- owner of the Admiral Benbow inn.

Treasure Island Prototype

It has long been believed that Treasure Island is a story entirely made up by Stevenson, including the description of Treasure Island. However, in the 1940s, surprising similarities were discovered between the fictional island and the island of Pinos (modern Juventud), located 70 km south of Cuba, which was a haven for pirates for 300 years.

Russian editions and translations

Having gained wide popularity in Europe almost immediately after its publication, the novel quite early attracted the attention of Russian publishers, quickly entering the traditional circle of children's reading. The first adapted translation from the French edition of 1885 was published in Moscow in 1886, in the printing house of the brothers E. and M. Werner, as a supplement to the magazine “Around the World”. It fully reproduced the illustrations of the French artist Georges Roux. The most popular before the revolution was considered to be the translation by O. A. Grigorieva, published in 1904 in the series “Library of Novels (Adventures on Land and Sea)” published by P. P. Soykin. In the USSR, the most accessible translation was N. K. Chukovsky, completed in the first half of the 1930s under the editorship of K. I. Chukovsky and published by the Association of State Book and Magazine Publishing Houses (OGIZ) under the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR in 1935, almost simultaneously with the more accurate , but a lesser-known translation by M. A. Zenkevich, published by the Young Guard publishing house. It was in the translation of N.K. Chukovsky that the novel was repeatedly republished in the series “Library of Adventures”, “Library of Adventures and Science Fiction”, “Library of World Literature for Children” by the publishing house “Children’s Literature”, as well as in separate publications. In the 1990s and 2000s, new translations by M. I. Kan, I. Smirnov and V. Kaidalov were published, which were more consistent with the norms of the modern Russian language, but did not become widely known.

Literary parodies and sequels

"Treasure Island" gave rise to a number of literary parodies and sequels.

One of these parodies was written by John Lennon (published in the book In His Own Write, 1964). Entitled Treasure Ivan- a play on words (Ivan - perhaps referring to his school friend Ivan Vaughan). In the Russian translation by Alexei Kurbanovsky, the parody is called “Osip Sokrovich”
In 1973, the magazine “Around the World” published R. Delderfield’s novel “The Adventures of Ben Gunn,” written partly on behalf of D. Hawkins, but mainly on behalf of Ben Gunn himself.
In 2001, Irish writer Frank Delaney (under the pseudonym Francis Bryan) wrote a sequel novel, Jim Hawkins and the Curse of Treasure Island. (English)Russian».
Dennis Jude wrote the novel The Adventures of Long John Silver about Silver's life before the events of Treasure Island.
John Drake. "Captain Silver's Odyssey"
Edward Chupak. "John Silver: Return to Treasure Island"
Bjorn Larsson. "Long John Silver: The True and Thrilling Tale of My Free Life as a Gentleman of Fortune and an Enemy of Mankind"
In 2013, the Russian writer V.P. Tochinov released an “investigative novel” “Island without Treasures”, in which he proves that the apparent plot inconsistencies of the novel turn out to be subtly thought-out plot devices, behind which the true face of the heroes is hidden. In particular, it is alleged that Jim Hawkins's parents were engaged in smuggling, the income from which was received by Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey was a spy for the Jacobites, the pirates on the Hispaniola were not at all plotting a mutiny, John Silver sailed on the ship in 1719-1720

Subtitles

Now the bells will ring at midnight, the Moon, like a copper penny, flickers in the distance. It is safer to store your capital in a bank than, like Flint, in some chest. It seemed to us that we were at the goal, Having sent many many souls to the next world along the way. And everyone who survived until the finals will receive their due jackpot! (SONG): - "Treasure Island"! I once wrote a book about pirates. "Treasure Island" - Robert Louis Stevenson! "Treasure Island" - Every page here - all the faces are gloomy. The Louis and piastres are ringing! - I dreamed of living in abundance all my life, But among pirates, honor is a slow-moving commodity! They hand you a check in the form of a black mark, Six grams of lead - that's your entire fee! It’s all because of money, money, all the evil from it - I wouldn’t see it again for a lifetime! They came for me. Thank you for your attention. Now they must be killing! - "Treasure Island"! I once wrote a book about pirates. "Island of Treasures" - Robert Louis Stevenson! "Island of Treasures"! Every page here - all the faces are gloomy. Louidors and piastres are ringing! - ...Tell me, Ham, how long will we continue to wag like a sutler's boat? I'm dying I'm tired of the captain, stop bossing him around! I want to live in his cabin! And... - Bens! Your head is very inexpensive, because it never had a brain. Take your time! - But, Silver, I... - Okay ! I'll tell you. After the squire and the doctor find the treasure... ...and help us load it onto the ship... - What do we do with it? - I vote - kill! - Earth-i-i-i- me! - Come on, come on, Jim! What did you want to tell us? - There is treason on the ship! Just now, by chance, I overheard a conversation. It turns out that Silver was the main assistant to Flint himself. He knows about the treasures, but doesn’t know where they are buried. As soon as we dig up the treasure, they will slaughter us all. - Captain! John Silver outwitted us. He is a wonderful man! - He would be even more wonderful if he was hanging from a yardarm! - Yes, captain, you were right! I admit that I am an ass and await your orders. I'm just as much of an ass as you, sir, for the crew to outwit me. Me! Captain Smollett! But all this talk is now useless. I have an idea, gentlemen! I suggest not showing that we know about their plans for now. Let's be alert, let's wait! - Sir, they know everything! We're lost! - How many people on the ship are loyal to us? - There are seven of us, together with Jim! - Ha ha ha, against nineteen! - I will fight for two! No! For four! For twelve, for three... May I go, sir? Do your duty! Yes, sir! All around! Step march! At-two, at-two, at-two! At-two, at-two, at-two! ... At-two, at-two, at-two! At-two, at-two, at-two! Hey guys! Have any of you seen this land before? A? - I saw it, sir! We got fresh water here when I served as a cook on a merchant ship. - Didn't understand! Oh yes! It seems that the most convenient way to anchor is from the south - over there, behind that island. A? - Yes, yes, sir. This island is called "Skeleton Island". One sailor from our ship knew all the names. That mountain is called the Spyglass. The pirates had an observation post there. - Guys, you did a great job! Now, whoever wants to, let him go ashore! - Hurray for Captain Smollett! Well, now everyone is off to the island. - Hooray! - Hurray for Captain Smollett! - Listen, Hanks! Stay with the guys on the ship and keep an eye on the captain. You will answer me for them with your life. Clear? - I wonder what the pirates will do on the island? I have to follow them. - Is it really Jim? - We need to catch up with him, guys! - He can ruin everything! - Jim! Where are you? Look for him, guys! - Well, where did this worthless boy go? - Shh-sh-h. Went! - Excuse me, who are you? - My name is Ben Gunn! “I haven’t spoken to a single person for three years!” -Are you wrecked? - No, they left me here. Yes, they threw me in as punishment. What's your name, boy? - Jim. - Oh, Jim, whose ship is this? Isn't it Flint? - No, Flint died, but there are several of his old friends on the ship. And this is a great misfortune for us. - And One-Legged? Is he there? - Silver? - Yes, yes, yes, his name was Silver! - He is our cook and the leader of this whole gang of bandits. - I will help you out, but only... - I don’t understand. - Only I would like to know if I will get at least a thousand pounds from the money that is already mine? - Of course, because the squire is the most generous person in the world! - And he will take me home? - Of course, sir! Now tell us about yourself, sir. Oh sir, it's a terrible story! If you manage to return to the ship, you will receive a wheel of cheese like this! But - shhhhh! - I hear steps. These are pirates! Let's hide! - Ha-ha-ha! Our affairs are not important. First of all, where is Jim now? Secondly, it looks like the pirates won't let us out of here. Need to do something! Yeah, here comes Jim! Who is he with? And here comes Silver and the pirates. And what's that? Ha ha ha! Gentlemen! I have a great plan! (incoherent muttering) - One-two, one-two, one-two! Keep upstream! One-two, one-two! A gun! They are loading the cannon. For what? Oh, they will shoot! Speed up! One-two, one-two, one-two! One-two, one-two, one-two! One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two! One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two! (pirate whistles) - Livesey, Smollett and Trelawney grabbed weapons and ran away! They have captured the fort! - Ha-ha-ha! The log house is not visible from the ship. They are aiming at our flag. He must be brought down! - Lower the flag? Proud maritime custom does not allow the flag to be lowered during battle! Never! - Jim! Jim, look! See, your friends are there. - Not robbers? - No. Silver would raise the Jolly Roger, the pirate banner. - Then, quickly, go to them! - Wait, wait! I have to meet the doctor. Let him come alone! - Fine. - Doctor, squire, captain! It's me - Jim! Hello! Doctor, I just met someone. His name is Ben Gunn. He has some news for you. - What is this? - Ha-ha-ha! White flag! “I bet they're up to some kind of trick.” Attention! Everything is in place! One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two! Oh! Oh! Oh! What do you need? - I want to conclude an agreement with you. Do not shoot! - Fine! Sit down, my dear. - Well, thank you. - Tell me why you came? - We want to get the treasures, and we will get them. And you want to save your lives and you have every right to do so! Do you have a map? - Maybe! - I know - there is. Give us the map. - This is all? Nothing will come of this, my dear! “Then the guns will speak for me!” - What are you saying? You're seriously aground, Silver. And all because you are too greedy! Now listen to a cautionary tale, sir! - Greedy Billy was a pirate. True, Billy was not loved. - Neither sailors, nor pirates, nor children, nor relatives! - Yes, and Billy couldn’t curb his crocodile appetite. - And so that Billy doesn't get beaten? There just hasn't been a day! - One two three four five! - You know, probably! - One two three four five! - Greed is bad! - One two three four five! - Let's say without a catch! - One two three four five! - Greed is bad! - Greed is bad! - Greed is bad! - Billy avoided women, did not date, did not marry. - Because of greed, I have never fallen in love or suffered! - I didn’t want to pay piastres for candy and asters. - Developed an ulcer, asthma, and then gave up! - One two three four five! - Greedy century after century! - One two three four five! - Moral cripple! - One two three four five! - If you're greedy! - One two three four five! - You will destroy yourself! - You will destroy yourself! - You will destroy yourself! - That's all! And no Bill! Greed killed Bill. - He lies on the bottom of the silt, In life he has had little time. - Greed is worse than cholera! Greed destroys the filibuster! - Repeat with us, sirs, the chorus of this song: - One-two-three-four-five! - You know, probably! - One two three four five! - Greed is bad! - One two three four five! - Let's say without a catch! - One two three four five! - Greed is bad! - Greed is bad! - Greed, I would say, is very bad! Yes Yes Yes! - Is everything clear to you now, Silver? If you come here alone, I will put you in chains and give you a fair trial! If not, then remember - my name is Captain Smollett! And I will send everyone to the gallows! - In an hour, those of you who remain alive will envy the dead. - In places! Hmm... Devil! It's been over an hour! It's getting boring! A! Here they come! Attention! Get ready! Fire! Forward! Hand to hand! Come on, hands up! - Yo-yo-yo! Yeh-yeh! Ya-ya! - Not bad, not bad! Still, they got their rations for today! So, gentlemen, there were four of us against nineteen. Now, that means four against nine. Brilliantly! Gentlemen, congratulations on your victory! - Hooray! Hooray! - We are all participants in the regatta. Rowing, rowing... - Rowing towards us! - For the glory of honor and gold: - Wine, beauties! - Etc. - Envy eats away at our souls, That someone else will rake in more! - And consumption is increasing! - And production is lagging behind! - Dry your oars, sir, Why the hell do you need wealth? Life is short and no matter how much you eat, it’s not worth trying in vain to eat for future use! - Dry your oars, sir! - Dry your oars, sir! - It’s not worth trying in vain to eat for future use! - Dry your oars, sir! - Dry your oars, sir! - Fill your chests and belly! But all the same, in the end, an old woman will appear with a scythe and row the rowers to her! - Isn’t it better to live easily and simply, So that no one curses you? - Get off, sir, dry your oars! - Dry your oars! All! - The final! - Dry your oars, sir, Why the hell do you need wealth? Life is short and no matter how much you eat, it’s not worth trying in vain to eat for future use! - Dry your oars, sir! - Dry your oars, sir! - It’s not worth trying in vain to eat for future use! - Dry your oars, sir! - Dry your oars, sir! - Ha-ha-ha! So it was you, Ben Gunn, who dug up the treasure? Wonderful! And they brought you to this cave? Brilliantly! Now the pirates are in our hands! I will calmly give them the map and the fort. Wonderful! Ha ha ha! - What the hell is this? Where did Dr. Livesey go? He just has some kind of plan! And if he has a plan, then I will have something. I will steal the Hispaniola from the pirates! - You are a scoundrel, Israel Hanks! - I? - Yes, you! By thunder, it's Jim! - Who is there? Oh, it's Jim Hawkins, damn me! Come in, come in! Always happy to have an old friend. Jim, well, since you wandered here, then join us. - But, sir, how did you get here? Where is Doctor Livesey, Trelawney, the captain? Where did they go? - We concluded an agreement, received a fortress, and they left. Where are they now - I don’t know. - Sir! Since I am your prisoner, do with me what you want. But, you know, I pulled the card out of Billy Bones' chest! It was I who overheard your conversation on the schooner and passed it on to the captain! It was I who killed Israel Hanks and stole the schooner! Your case is lost! - Let him bleed! - Get to your place! Who are you, John, to be in charge here? Maybe the captain? - Johnny is right, let him bleed! - And everyone is in charge here! - Gentlemen, who wants to deal with me, let him out. Let him take out his dirk. And even though I’m on a crutch, I’ll see what color your offal is. Before this tube goes out! Not too brave? So, listen up! Whoever touches Jim will have to deal with me! Are you going to tell me something? Well, speak up. I'm listening to! - I'm sorry, sir! You have recently begun to often violate our customs. The team has the right to get together and talk! - According to custom! - To the meeting! - This is the law! - You're on the verge of death, Jim. They want to demote me. Quid pro quo: I'll save you, and you'll save my neck from the rope. - I'll do everything I can! Yes. - So it's a deal? Oh, by the way, do you know why the doctor gave me the card? There's something wrong here... - John, you've been deposed! - The team, having gathered for a meeting, as is the custom of gentlemen of fortune... ...made a decision to send you a black mark! - Ha ha! Turn it over, as our custom dictates, and read what is written on it! - Then you will speak differently! - You are deposed, Silver! Get off the barrel! - Get off the barrel! - Get off, get off! - Now listen to what I tell you: this boy is a hostage! And he, this boy, may become our last hope. - OK. And the doctor? - A! Why did I let him and the others go? Here! - She is real! - Here is Flint's signature! - This is a Dead Knot! - But how will we take away the treasures? - After all, we don’t have a ship! - Yes! - You should say this. You and the others who missed the schooner. I found you treasure, but you lost your ship. I don't want to be captain of such fools. Enough for me! - Silvera! Silvera! - Silvera as captain! - Gentlemen! We're going on a treasure hunt! - A-ah-ah! - Has he already found it? - Found the treasure? - Skeleton! - This is a sailor! His clothes were nautical. - Yah! Did you think you would find a bishop here? However, why do the bones lie so strangely? And, it seems, I’m beginning to understand: they show us where the treasures are! Check with the compass. - South West. - So, there is the North Star, there are funny pounds! - I swear by thunder, this is one of Flint's cute jokes! - Here are three tall trees. Now the child would find the treasure! - Guys! Over there, untold riches await us! Forward! - Really Jim? - He is! - Gentlemen! We must save Jim. This is our duty! Attention! Shhhh... Listen to my command! Surround the pirates! At-two, at-two, at-two! - Eh! Where did the money go? -Where are the doubloons? - Where are the pounds? - No! - Sir, but here it’s empty, there’s nothing. Someone has already been here before us. Where is the treasure, sir? - This is your seven hundred thousand, or what? Gentlemen! There are only two of them: one is a cripple who brought us here to our deaths. The other is a puppy whose heart I've been wanting to cut out for a long time! - Look, look! - What is this? - They're coming here! - Save yourself! Let's run! - Ha-ha-ha! Hello gentlemen! Hello my dears! You look bad for some reason. I'll listen to you now. Amazing! Breathe deeply. Oh, how lovely! Wheezing, flabby tummy. The liver is nowhere. This is good! Amazing! Teeth-teeth. Yes... Rotten. So good! Many are missing. Very good. Guys! You smoke too much! You won't be able to run a hundred yards with that kind of shortness of breath! Remember, smoking is harmful to health! (SONG): - Columbus discovered America - He was a great sailor. But at the same time he taught the whole world to smoke tobacco! From the pipe of peace by the fire, smoked with the leader, a bad habit began on a global scale! - The Ministry of Health warns! - Smoking is poison! - The Ministry of Health warns! Ministry of Health warns! - But what about Columbus? - And Columbus? - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - Not to blame for anything! - Columbus, who was Christopher, did not know what he was doing. - A lot of our strength has flown away since then in the gray smoke! - Tobacco fumes are sweeter to us than the aroma of roses... - And in that smoke - heart attack, sclerosis, lung cancer and catarrh! - The Ministry of Health warns! - Smoking is poison! - The Ministry of Health warns! - The Ministry of Health warns! - But what about Columbus? - And Columbus? - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - Not to blame for anything! - I personally quit, I don’t smoke. I am cheerful and full of strength! I thank my dear Ministry of Health for warning me! - Smoker, forgive me for the sad pun... Smoking from now on... - . ..Let's announce a smoke break! - Smoking is poison! - The Ministry of Health warns! - But what about Columbus? - And Columbus? - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - And Columbus! - Not to blame for anything! - What will happen to me? - Ha-ha-ha! The court will decide, Silver! And I will keep my word. - A-ah! So is it you, Ben? So you dug up the money? - One-two, one-two, one-two! One-two! Stop, one-two! Listen to my command! Start loading! At-two, at-two! At-two! At! Prepare to sail! At-two, at! The slipway is on the harness, the topsail is on the ropes! Raise the sails! At-two!

Plot

Comedy adaptation of the famous novel “Treasure Island” about the search for the treasure of the pirate Flint. The animated scenes are interspersed with musical numbers and game scenes filmed with the participation of actors and illustrating the events of the cartoon or dealing with certain problems associated with the pirate lifestyle: for example, greed, smoking or alcoholism. At the same time, the manner of filming musical numbers and game episodes differs in different episodes: in some places the image is in color, in others it is black and white. One game scene imitates a silent film using intertitles, and in the opening sequence live action is combined with animation - the only cartoon character is Billy Bones.

Differences from the book

The replicas of the film's characters almost completely correspond to the replicas of Stevenson's characters. However, to achieve comic effect or simplify the plot, what happens is not entirely true to the novel:

In the book, John Silver did not have a left leg, but in the cartoon he did not have a right leg.
In the book, Jim Hawkins is a teenage boy living in the Admiral Benbow Inn with his parents. In the first part of the novel, his father dies, and Jim and his mother are forced to survive a pirate attack on the inn. However, in the cartoon, Jim is already almost an adult youth and lives alone in his tavern. He is helped by a one-eyed cat, which Billy Bones brought with him, and Jim's mother is only mentioned in passing.
In the book, Dr. Livesey bleeds Billy Bones, and in the film, he listens to him with a stethoscope and counts his pulse. There, Dr. Livesey is a cheerful fellow who can do everything playfully. This image of the doctor does not coincide with his prototype in the book.
In the book, Blind Pew is trampled by the horses of the customs guards who galloped to the Admiral Benbow to help. In the movie, he rolled off a cliff in a barrel. There, Pugh unfolds from his bosom a whole canvas with state military awards awarded to him (that is, Pugh was once both a royal sailor and a privateer, unless, of course, he stole these medals).
In the book, Jim recognizes the Black Dog in the Spyglass and raises a cry. He escapes, after which Silver plays the nice guy, convincing Jim that they will catch him. In the cartoon, Black Dog drinks rum in a tavern with other visitors and watches Jim's battle with a fat pirate, and then even becomes one of the Hispaniola sailors recruited by Silver.
Sometimes faithfully following the lines of the characters in the novel leads to contradictions with what is happening on the screen. For example, when the heroes, while still on the schooner, learn about the conspiracy, to Trelawny’s question “How many people are loyal to us on the ship?” - Captain Smollett answers:

There are seven of us, including Jim.

This corresponds to the plot of the book, but not the cartoon - in the cartoon there are only four positive characters, not seven. However, after defending the fort, the captain says:

There were four of us against nineteen. Now we are four against nine.

This phrase corresponds to the plot of the cartoon, not the book. In the film, the number of pirates cannot be counted. Most often, in addition to Silver, there are four or five pirates in the frame.

Returning to the fort, which was surrendered to the pirates, Jim Hawkins says that it was he who killed Israel Hands (since that is what happens in the book). Meanwhile, in the episode of Jim's capture of the schooner, Hands remains hanging between the masts of the Hispaniola, holding on to the ends of the rope cut by his own dagger. In addition, it remains there when the heroes set off on their return journey.
In the book, Captain Smollett received two bullet wounds during a battle with pirates and could not move independently. In the cartoon, he was simply crushed by the fort wall that fell on him, but was safe and sound.
In the book, Dr. Livesey performs a medical examination of the pirates long before they reach the place where the treasure is.
In the film, the treasures were completely removed from the island, but in the book only gold was taken away. The rest (silver bullion and weapons) remained on the island.
The cartoon ends with the sailing, but the fate of the treasure is not described. The book ends with a description of who disposed of their share and how. The only thing that is not described in the book is the fate of Jim's share.
Squire Trelawney is characterized as dull, greedy, gluttonous, lazy, cowardly and arrogant. The description is more suitable for the moneylender Trelawney from the 1937 Soviet film. In the book, Trelawney is arrogant and talkative, but brave and courageous. Moreover, he is the best shooter.
Silver’s “dossier” states that he is single, like all the other cartoon characters, but in the book (in a letter from Squire Trelawney), on the contrary, the fact that he is married to a black woman is mentioned.

Parallels with other works

The episodes with the “dossier” of the film’s characters in content and visual and sound design are a direct reference to the television film “17 Moments of Spring”.
The episode where Trelawney uncorks and enjoys drinking rum is a reference to the Pepsi adverts of the 1980s.

Features of animation

Many hand-drawn sequences in the cartoon are used several times. For example, the night pirate raid on the Admiral Benbow tavern and the daytime attack on the fort (with the difference that Blind Pew is now replaced by Silver) are repeated. The death of minor characters in the cartoon is shown conditionally. During the entire film, in addition to Billy Bones, the cat and Blind Pew, only one cartoon character really dies - the fat man, defeated by Jim with a rocket. After the death of Blind Pew and the big fat pirate whom Jim defeated, the five pirates on the shore bare their heads in mourning.

Two teams of animators worked on the cartoon. One used the conventional hand-drawn animation method, and the second used “flat puppets”. The difference between the methods is that with classical drawing the artist draws a mirror image of the character. As a result, Silver alternately loses his left and right legs. The same mistake occurs in another film by David Cherkassky, where the heroes (sailors and pirates) are missing different legs (“Doctor Aibolit”).

Dossier on heroes

In the cartoon, when introducing pirates and other characters to the audience, the director’s “dossier” technique from the television film “Seventeen Moments of Spring” is used. It is noteworthy that the version written on the screen does not always coincide with the voiced version.

In this film, animated scenes are interspersed with musical numbers and game scenes filmed with the participation of actors and illustrating the events of the cartoon or dealing with certain problems associated with the pirate lifestyle: for example, greed , smoking or alcoholism. At the same time, the manner of filming musical numbers and game episodes differs in different episodes: in some places the image is in color, in others - black and white. One game scene simulates silent film using intertitles, and in some episodes live action is combined with animation.

Plot

IN tavern An unusual guest arrives at Admiral Benbow. The scars on his face revealed him as a former pirate who had survived many storms and drunken fights. This is Billy Bones, a sailor who was once on Captain Flint's team. He was very scared and drank a lot all the time Roma. He promised to pay Jim Hawkins, the boy who worked in the tavern, three pence silver, but every month, if he suddenly notices near the inn “... a sailor on one leg...”. The sailor obtained from Flint a map of the island where he buried his treasure, and now he was afraid that it would be taken away by a gang of John Silver, a one-legged pirate who was ready to do anything for a gold coin.

During his entire stay at the Admiral Benbow, Billy Bones was visited by his former shipmates: Black Dog, who was hunting for a map of Treasure Island, then Blind Pew, who handed Bones black mark. Due to strong emotions and excessive consumption of rum, some time after Blind Pew's arrival at the tavern, Billy Bones died, and as a result the map falls into the hands of Jim. He escapes from a gang led by Blind Pew, heading straight to Dr. David Livesey. In the end, the pirates escaped from the inn, and Blind Pew fell into a barrel and drowned in it. Having involved Squire John Trelawney in the case, all three prepare a ship for Treasure Island. While discussing the details of the upcoming journey in a tavern, the friends encounter a hostile pirate. But Jim makes short work of him because he does exercises every morning. Having gathered a group of experienced sailors under the command of Captain Alexander Smollett, the heroes on a ship called the Hispaniola are heading for the island.

Along the way, a conspiracy is exposed. It turns out that most of the crew members consist of pirates who were in the crew of Captain Flint, led by Silver. Doctor Livesey, Squire Trelawney and Captain Smollett take refuge in an abandoned fort on the island, while Jim, along with the thugs and their commander, finds Captain Flint's hiding place. But there are no treasures there. They were found a long time ago by Ben Gunn, a pirate who was once abandoned on the island. He and his partner attack the pirates and help Jim transfer the treasure to the ship. At the end the ship, the Hispaniola, sails back to England.

Differences from the book

The replicas of the film's characters almost completely correspond to those of Stevenson's characters. However, to achieve comic effect or simplify the plot, what happens is not entirely true to the novel:

In the book Jim Hawkins- a teenage boy living in a tavern " Admiral Benbow" together with parents. In the first part of the novel, his father dies, and Jim and his mother are forced to survive a pirate attack on the inn. However, in the cartoon, Jim is already almost an adult youth and lives alone in his tavern. He is helped by a one-eyed cat, which he brought with him. Billy Bones, and Jim's mother is only mentioned in passing.
In the book, Dr. Livesey bleeds Billy Bones, and in the film, he listens to him with a stethoscope and counts his pulse. There, Dr. Livesey is a cheerful fellow who can do everything playfully. This image of the doctor does not coincide with his prototype in the book.
In the book, Blind Pew is trampled by the horses of the customs guards who galloped to the Admiral Benbow to help. In the film, he rolled off a cliff in a barrel and drowned in the sea. There, Pugh unfolds from his bosom a whole canvas with state military awards awarded to him (that is, Pugh was once both a royal sailor and privateer, who bravely defended their homeland, unless, of course, he stole these medals).
In the book, Jim recognizes the Black Dog in the Spyglass and raises a cry. He escapes, after which Silver plays the nice guy, convincing Jim that they will catch him. In the cartoon, Black Dog drinks rum in a tavern with other visitors and watches Jim's battle with a fat pirate, and then even becomes one of the Hispaniola sailors recruited by Silver.
Sometimes faithfully following the lines of the characters in the novel leads to contradictions with what is happening on the screen. For example, when the heroes, while still on the schooner, learn about the conspiracy, to Trelawny’s question “How many people are loyal to us on the ship?” - Captain Smollett answers:

There are seven of us, including Jim.

This corresponds to the plot of the book, but not the cartoon - in the cartoon there are only four positive characters, not seven. However, after defending the fort, the captain says:

There were four of us against nineteen. Now we are four against nine.

This phrase corresponds to the plot of the cartoon, not the book. In the film, the number of pirates cannot be counted. Most often, in addition to Silver, there are four or five pirates in the frame.

Returning to the fort, which was surrendered to the pirates, Jim Hawkins says that he killed Israel Hands(because that's what happens in the book). Meanwhile, in the episode of Jim's capture of the schooner, Hands remains hanging between the masts of the Hispaniola, holding on to the ends of the rope cut by his own dagger. In addition, he remains there when the heroes set off on their return journey.
In the book, Captain Smollett received two bullet wounds during a battle with pirates and could not move independently. In the cartoon, a fort wall fell on him, but he was safe and sound.
In the book, Dr. Livesey performs a medical examination of the pirates long before they reach the place where the treasure is.
In the film, the treasures were completely removed from the island, but in the book only gold was taken away. The rest (silver bars and weapons) remained on the island, waiting for other treasure hunters. “Let whoever wants to go after them,” Jim says in one of the translations.
The cartoon ends with the sailing, but the fate of the treasure is not described. The book ends with a description of who disposed of their share and how. The only thing that is not described in the book is the fate of Jim's share.
Squire Trelawney is characterized as dull, greedy, gluttonous, lazy, cowardly and arrogant. This description is more suitable for the moneylender Trelawney from Soviet film from 1937 and contradicts what Jim said in both the book and the film: "the squire is the most generous man in the whole world." In the book, Trelawney is arrogant and talkative, but brave and courageous. Moreover, he is the best shooter.
Silver’s “dossier” states that he is single, like all the other cartoon characters, and in the book (in a letter from Squire Trelawney) the fact is mentioned that he is married to a black woman. In addition, Silver himself tells one of the sailors that his wife is waiting for him at the “arranged place” with the money received from the sale of the tavern and remaining from other trips “for luck” (Jim hears this conversation while sitting in a barrel of apples).

Parallels with other works

Features of animation

Many hand-drawn sequences in the cartoon are used several times. For example, the night pirate raid on the Admiral Benbow tavern and the daytime attack on the fort (with the difference that Blind Pew is now replaced by Silver) are repeated. The death of minor characters in the cartoon is shown conditionally. During the entire film, only Billy Bones, his cat, Blind Pew, the pirate who remained to guard the Hispaniola, and the fat pirate, defeated by Jim with a rocket, truly die. After the death of Blind Pew and the big fat pirate whom Jim defeated, the five pirates on the shore bare their heads in mourning.

Two teams of animators worked on the cartoon. One used the conventional method hand drawn cartoon, and the second is a “flat puppet”. The difference between the methods is that with classical drawing the artist draws a mirror image of the character. As a result, Silver alternately loses his left and right legs. The same mistake occurs in another film by David Cherkassky “ Dr. Aibolit", where the heroes (One-Eyed, the captain of the Black Cuttlefish, the fat pirate) alternately lack different legs. The last two, starting from the fourth episode, are not at all one-legged.

Dossier on heroes

In the cartoon, when introducing pirates and other characters to the audience, a director's technique is used "dossier" from TV movie "Seventeen Moments of Spring"(1973). It is noteworthy that the version written on the screen does not always coincide with the voiced version.
