A pirate's map. A one-legged cook. An island full of buried gold, and buried secrets.

Young Jim Hawkins helps his mother run the Admiral Benbow, a lonely inn on the English coast. One day a scarred old sailor with a sea chest arrives, drinks rum, sings pirate songs and watches the road in terror. When strange visitors come looking for him, Jim finds himself holding the old captain's greatest secret: a map to the treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint.

Soon Jim is at sea with Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, bound for a distant island. But the ship's friendly one-legged cook, John Silver, has plans of his own, and not every sailor on board is who he seems.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island (1883) gave the world the treasure map marked with an X, the parrot on the shoulder and the most charming villain in literature. In this classic Spanish translation by Manuel Caballero, its clear, fast-moving story is ideal for learners.

Passage sets the book as a quiet, paginated reader in Spanish. Read at your own pace, and when a sentence stops you, tap it. You get:

• a natural translation of that exact sentence,
• a short note on the grammar, in plain words,
• the key words, which you can save with the sentence they came from,
• all of it in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Turkish or Portuguese, whichever you read best.

It's marked beginner, so it's a good first whole book if you know the basics of Spanish and want something you can finish. The words you save come back later in short review games, so the book keeps teaching after you close it.
