Abstract
The purpose of this article is twofold: first, it will aim to demonstrate that Stevenson's Treasure Island (1883) can be read as a warning against the emergence of anti-colonial resistance movements, by the end of the nineteenth century, on the other hand, it will show how Martel'sLife of Pi (2001) can be read as a metaphorical account of the process of colonization, subsequent resistance and ultimate fragmentation of the Empire; Secondly, the role of the hybrid character will be examined, as well as, its relationship with space. With this purpose in mind, throughout this article, the spatial boundaries in which the main characters move will be analysed, in order to understand the various phases of colonialism and their relationship withterritory.
