review 1: Idea interessante e originale quella di prendere un personaggio famoso delle narrativa mondiale e narrarne l'intera vita avventurosa. In questo libro, Larsson cerca infatti di ricostruire la storia che sta dietro al Pirata Long John Silver, uno dei personaggi chiave dell'Isola del Tesoro, come se fosse un personaggio storico. La storia è ben costruita ed il carattere di John sviluppato in maniera molto chiara e dinamica. inoltre vengono mantenuti quella crudezza e violenza della vita di bordo (seppur non agli stessi livelli) vista dei libri del ciclo dei Pirati di Evangelisti. Certo, ogni tanto il racconto si incaglia e rallenta un po' del dovuto...però tuttosommato è stata una bella lettura.
review 2: If you loved Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel, T... morereasure Island, you may like Swedish writer Larsson’s first US publication, a retelling of the life of the pirate Silver.Comfortably retired on Madagascar in 1742, Silver is nettled that all the literature written about his life has got it wrong. Amid his plundered riches and house staff, he opens his recollections during his youth back in Scotland, where he’s raised a motherless son by a drunken father. Having learned the knack of plucky self-reliance, he takes to the sea, is shipwrecked, and later is rescued by Dunn, a charitable soul of baffling kindness. Silver falls in love and has multiple adventures at sea, sailing on an unlikely variety of ships. As expected Captain Flint enters the story. The action scenes in these passages are what make the book, since Silver’s meditations on slavery, independence, honor, and human rights are something less than stirring. There is a cameo appearance by none other than Defoe, who discusses literature; but also plenty of rum, treasure, plundering and piratey misbehaviour. While it is likely that few of Stevenson’s Treasure Island readers have been terribly gripped by Silver’s inner life this exposition is worth a look. After all. the genial old salt is harmless enough and capable of telling a good yarn from his kit bag of memories. less
