"Una mañana, un viejo marinero que tenía la cara marcada con la cicatriz de un sable, llegó hasta nuestra casa arrastrando un gastado baúl. Era alto y fuerte y llevaba el pelo recogido en una trenza negra. Sus manos, con las uñas sucias y recomidas sujetaban un baston.

Menos conocido que La isla del tesoro o que Dr. Jeckylly Mr. Hyde, el cuento Will el del molino era considerado por Henry James como la obra maestra de Stevenson, que por su pureza y simplicidad alcanza la perfeccion de una historia zen.Estas no son fabulas para niños, aunque en ellas aparezcan caballos que hablan y monos que discuten. Tampoco son cuentos de hadas, a pesar de los duendes, las princesas, los castillos y los seres invisibles. Son pequeñas lecciones morales desprovistas de moralina y certeras satiras de la estupidez y la crueldad del hombre en cualquier tiempo y lugar. Tambien excelentes manifestaciones del cuento fantastico, un genero que Robert Louis Stevenson trato como pocos en obras como Los ladrones de cadaveres o El extraño caso del Dr. Jeckyll y Mr. Hyde. Dotadas de una atmosfera onirica que en algun caso prefigura, con decadas de anticipacion, la estetica surrealista, las Fabulas del genial autor escoces aciertan a desentrañar las peculiaridades del alma humana y las paradojas de la existencia, siempre desde una ironia y una comicidad radicalmente contemporaneas. Junto a las fabulas, que Borges califico como "secreta obra maestra", la presente edicion se completa con dos relatos de muy distinto signo: "La Isla de las Voces", perteneciente a la etapa samoana de Stevenson, en la que se trata el viejo tema del periplo en pos del conocimiento; y "Will el del molino", una historia sobre las decisiones equivocadas y el libre albedrio.

Stevenson concebeu A ilha do tesouro para o divertimento de seu enteado, Lloyd Osbourne, que tinha doze anos em 1881. Escrevendo a seu amigo W. H.

Uma historia de piratas, com um mapa, um tesouro, um motim e um cozinheiro de bordo com uma perna so, A ilha do tesouro permanece uma das historias de aventuras mais amadas da literatura. - L&PM
