Plans For Horse Buggies
84th Folly: Treasure Island
Young Jim Hawkins is the hero of this novel, and the terrible John Silver, the man with the wooden leg. The "Hispaniola" lands on Treasure Island "good" and "wicked". Therefore, an implacable struggle takes place to find the treasure amassed by Flint, fearsome pirate died without having delivered his secret.
This is a literary classic, which I had never read until now. And I do not regret myself finally decided to remedy that. This is a really good adventure book, very well written with good plot and a young hero who was pleased to follow the amazing adventures.
I found the writing very strong, it really feels to be on the boat or on the island along with Jim. I think if I had read younger I wanted my turn to embark on a boat to go in search of the treasure of Captain Flint. Stevenson has been able to imagine what could be the spirit of a young boy of 14 years to the inquisitive and eager to discover. Of course sometimes it is to achieve Jim shares that would be very unlikely in reality, but it does not bother really, because we are caught in the action and we want to know what will happen next.
There are many other characters, all adults, which revolve around Jim, but we must recognize that they are all relatively bland compared to the young boy. You can find the Knight, a kind of noble rather stupid and gullible, the Doctor seems to be the most "normal" characters, the Captain of the Hispaniola (the boat purchased by the Knight to go on the island) which is a man who is accustomed to being obeyed. But in all these characters are little exploited, and they serve mainly to highlight the actions of Jim.
Finally facing him, there is the "nasty" Long John Silver. One-legged sailor, which gives off an impressive charisma and spirit that hides a devious, calculating and manipulative. He is a character we love to hate.
The story is progressing well, neither too fast nor too slowly, it catches the reader well, and it's hard to put the book down to go do something else. You always want to go a little further to see what will happen to Jim.
In summary, a good adventure book that has not aged and that always takes us with him on Treasure Island ...

Brewery Three Ladies (Switzerland) and Cascade Brewing (USA), available in private imports
Two new orders this month in Imports Private Bièropholie . Swiss brewery borrowing some ideas and flavors to American and one American brewery based in Belgium. Do not tell me that the world of beer is booming!
Three Ladies of Ste-Croix, Switzerland
Pacific Pale Ale (5.4%)
Also aromatic than digestible, this Pale Ale entertains with every sip with its pirouettes hopped. Oranges, pepper, leaves and resin of conifer succeed on the palate in perfect harmony.
Season Hops (6%)
Always silky, this season is reflected in the accuracy of its spicy hops, her winks minerals, cereals and yeast bread recalling fresh and tangy finish. Citrus fruits and flowers are also appointments in this very authentic flavor profile.
IPA (6.2%)
conifers and tropical fruits float on the intense gasification of the India Pale Ale. Apart from the excitement marked his drought and mild yeasty character remind us that its origins are not American.
the cool evening (6.8%)
coriander, wheat and orange peel lengthen a salad of citrus on the palate, supported by slightly biscuity grain. This White Double walks on a wire, can it really both drink and warm?
Season Raspberry (7%)
Tangy and fruity, this Raspberry Season is the setting for a delicious marriage between a rustic personality style and juicy raspberries. It refreshes despite its 7 percent alcohol. Oud Bruin
(7.2%)
The berries and cherries grow briskly over a balsamic casting, while flavors of red wine wrap angles and sour earth. What a beautiful incarnation of a style all too rare for our liking!
Espresso Stout (7.5%)
grains of coffee overlooking a dark chocolate in this Stout slim and easy to approach. Do not be intimidated by its percentage of alcohol. This beer gets caught as easily as a morning coffee ...
We have never tasted them, but hope to do soon:
India Brown Ale (5.3%)
An IPA brewed with some caramelized malt. The IPA regular house vibrate with freshness, then remains to be seen if the harmony between the new recipe of grains and hops selected.
Pasionaria Double IPA (9%)
A hoppy Double IPA with cultivars Simcoe and Amarillo, north-west United States. It expects nothing less than an explosion of tropical fruit and very bitter resins. And we are confident that three ladies deliver.
Cascade Brewing, Portland (Oregon), USA
Kriek (6.6%)
In many leagues of Sudden Death and St. Louis Kriek cherry beer with Cascade will conquer authentic lambic lovers, acid and wild. Brewed with four varieties of cherries and aged in oak barrels for one year, Kriek this is basically a Flanders Red, a very different style too rare in our region. Oenophiles, here's your chance to discover a surprising product appears to be a bridge between beer and wine.
Apricot (8.5%)
This Cascade Apricot Ale also leaves the beaten track and does not primarily an attempt to copy the beers sweet, fruity brew that several large breweries. In fact, this beer is a Tripel has metamorphosed through lactic fermentation of 8 months in oak barrels. Subsequently, the apricots are added to further fermentation. Ultimately, flavors fruity white wine dock apricots, itself clinging to a lactic acid tenacious. For lovers of complexity as well as thrills.
