Download or read book In Pursuit of Treasure Island written by Raúl Ruiz and published by Dis Voir Editions. This book was released on 2008 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic follow-up to Stevenson's classic novel Behind each children's book, behind each bestseller, a sacred text is hidden. Stevenson's novel has been scrutinized, read and re-read a thousand times. It has been used as a model for a map that leads us in search of an island where a cave that represented the sky was located. And in that sky, the stars and planets were represented by diamonds, real diamonds... Both a prelude and a continuation to Raoul Ruiz's film, Treasure Island, made in 1984, In Pursuit of Treasure Island presents itself as the follow-up, or rather a pursuit, of Stevenson's novel. It is a formidable example of the way Ruiz parodies the text and plunges the story inside the story before losing the reader in a labyrinth of strange images.
