Synopsis
Tvorchestvo Stivensona mozhno nazvat' vozvratom k chistomu romantizmu. Ostaviv v storone social'nye problemy, avtor «Ostrova sokrovishch» izbral tu oblast' smeloj, voskhititel'no krasochnoj fantazii, gde vsyakij, kto molod dushoj, mozhet najti otvet na vse volnuyushchie ego voprosy. Social'nye zadachi smenyayutsya, no molodost' vsegda verna sebe; v ehtom zalog vechnogo uspekha Stivensona, ehtogo velikogo optimista, vsya zhizn' kotorogo proshla v geroicheskoj bor'be so smertel'noj bolezn'yu. Vo vsem ego raznoobraznom tvorchestve, v ego povestyah, skazkah, romanah zvuchit zhizneradostnyj prizyv k bodrosti, k otvazhnym priklyucheniyam; on lyubil starinu za velichavyj otzvuk bylyh podvigov i vel nas v stranu dalekogo proshlogo ili k zateryannym sredi okeana ostrovam, znakomil so vsemi chudesami zemnogo shara... Bezuprechnyj stilist i tonkij hudozhnik, on nikogda ne preryvaet svoego rasskaza otvlechennymi rassuzhdeniyami i blagodarya ehtomu vse vremya prikovyvaet vnimanie chitatelya k hodu razvertyvaemyh sobytij. Ot ego knigi nel'zya otorvat'sya, ne dochitav ee do konca. Stanovyas' povestvovatelem, on pochti stushevyvaet svoyu yarkuyu individual'nost', ob"edinyayushchij otpechatok kotoroj, tem ne menee, lezhit na vsekh ego proizvedeniyah. «Ostrov sokrovishch» nachalsya pechataniem v ezhenedel'nom zhurnale «YAng Folks», v 1881 godu. EHtot pervyj roman Stivensona, odin iz samyh uvlekatel'nyh, srazu proslavil avtora i sdelal izvestnym ego imya. Central'naya figura romana – Dzhon Sil'ver «s licom, bol'shim kak okorok vetchiny, i s malen'kimi sverkayushchimi glazami, pohozhimi na oskolki stekla», – nastoyashchij korol' piratov. Iz namekov, iz legkih sluchajnyh shtrihov vyrastaet pered voobrazheniem chitatelya lichnost' ehtogo blagoobraznogo i bezzhalostnogo odnonogogo zlodeya. On perestaet byt' sozdaniem vymysla, on kak by zhivoj chelovek iz ploti i krovi, s kotorym my voshli v soprikosnovenie. Dzhon – zakorenelyj prestupnik, kotoromu net proshcheniya, no nam ne hotelos' by s nim rasstat'sya; my rady byli by prodolzhit' nashe prebyvanie na zagadochnom ostrove, gde spryatano nagrablennoe zoloto, ili uznat' eshche chto-nibud' o priklyucheniyah rodivshegosya pod schastlivoj zvezdoj Dzhima Hokinsa... Interesna istoriya vozniknoveniya romana. Stivenson byl ochen' druzhen so svoim pasynkom, Llojdom Osbornom, togda eshche 13-letnim mal'chikom. U Llojda byla otdel'naya komnata, gde nahodilis' prinadlezhnosti dlya risovaniya, malen'kij tipografskij stanok, knigi; tam sostavlyalsya i vypuskalsya v svet shutlivyj domashnij zhurnal, sotrudnikami kotorogo byli vse chleny semejstva. Stivenson lyubil provodit' tam s mal'chikom celye chasy i sam veselilsya kak rebenok. Odnazhdy on nachertil i raskrasil kartu fantasticheskogo ostrova i nazval ego «Ostrovom Sokrovishch». EHta shutka i natolknula ego na ideyu znamenitogo romana.
