souloftherose: King Solomon's Mines was written as a result of a wager between H. Rider Haggard and his brother on whether he could write a novel half as good as R. L. Stevenson's Treasure Island. Why not read them both and decide for yourself?
Inky_Fingers: Pirates is not the only thing these two books have in common. They are both incredibly exciting adventures and have wonderfully brave young heroes.
Caramellunacy: Pirates and hijinks on the high seas abound in both - in Treasure Island, Jim Hawkins is brought along on an expedition to find a pirate's buried treasure and faces betrayal and danger from pirates & the crew. In Buccaneers, the crew fears that a castaway they pick up in the middle of the ocean is a Jonah who will betray them to the most vicious pirate on the seas.… (meer)
Caramellunacy: In both, the protagonist sets out to sea and must show great courage to rectify a grievous mistake that exposes themselves and the crew to great danger. Both excellent reads for the nautically-minded.
mcenroeucsb: If you have read lots of books about pirates and seen all the pirate movies, you'll probably enjoy Pyrates because it references most of them. If you're not a fanatic about all things pirate, you might want to skip Pyrates and try Fraser's Flashman series instead.… (meer)
Echt actieverhaal, maar van een bijzondere soort. Jim is een echte held, die ondanks naiviteit toch bepalend is voor de redding van de groep. Opvallend is vooral het dubbele portret van John Silver: moorddadige piraat, valserik aan de ene kant, maar ook romantische piraat, intelligent, goed wetend wat het goede is. ( )

TO THE HESITATING PURCHASER
If sailor tales to sailor tunes, Storm and adventure, heat and cold, If schooners, islands, and maroons, And buchaneers, and buried gold, And all the old romance, retold exactly in the ancient way, can please, as me they pleased of old, The wiser youngsters of today:
-So be it, and fall on! If not, If studious youth no longer crave, His ancient appetites forgot, Kingston, or Ballantyne the brave, Or Cooper of the wood and wave, So be it, also! And may I And all my pirates share the grave Where these and their ceations lie!
DEAD MAN'S GHOST
A thin, high, trembling voice sang:
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
I have never seen men more dreadfully affected than the pirates. The color went from their faces like enchant- ment; some leaped to their feet, some clawed hold cf others. "It's Flint!" cried Merry. rum! last words!" "Darby M'Graw," the voice wailed. "Fetch aft the rum!" "They was his last words!" moaned Morgan. "Flint's Still, Silver was unconquered. "I'm here to get that stuff," he cried, "and I'll not be beat by man or devil." "Belay there, John!" said Merry. "Don't you cross a sperrit." "There's seven hundred thousand pounds not a quarter of a mile from here," Silver said. Sperrit? I never was feared of Flint in his life, and by the powers, I'll face him dead!"

Squire Trelawny, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17--, and go back to the time when my father kept the "Admiral Benbow" inn, and the brown old seaman, with the sabre cut, first took up his lodging under our roof.

Oxen and wainropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: "Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!"
