" Tout n'est pas liberté dans le monde ", et quand ce monde est le Wild, pays farouche et terre glacée, même le loup se sent prisonnier. Jack London, dans ce décor sauvage et cette nature hostile, nous conte l'histoire d'un louveteau qui vient petit à petit à la civilisation et se fait chien. La vie âpre des animaux sauvages et des chasseurs indiens ou blancs de l'Alaska a rarement été peinte avec autant de force et de vérité. Pour écrire ce récit, qui est devenu un classique de la littérature, Jack London s'est inspiré des souvenirs de son séjour dans le Grand Nord.

One of the most beloved adventure stories of all time, "Treasure Island" is a swashbuckling tale of the search for hidden treasure. When an old sea captain by the name of Billy Bones dies at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west coast of England during the mid-1700s, Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper's son, and his mother discover a treasure map among his belongings. Jim shows the map to some local acquaintances, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they plan an expedition to find the treasure. Together they set sail aboard the "Hispaniola," led by Captain Smollett, in search of Treasure Island. Amongst the crew are numerous former pirates, who are led to mutiny by "Long John" Silver, a one-legged Bristol tavern-keeper who has been hired as the ship's cook. Written in the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" dramatically depicts maritime life, rich with all its perils, in an adventure that investigates the nature of good and evil itself.
