Share This
Description
"This is a remarkable blend of fact and fiction depicting pirate lives in the Golden Age of Piracy."
You will be engrossed and entertained by this historical treasure depicting bands of brothers sailing their wooden ships through sun and storm, their robberies on the high seas, forgotten islands, their lofty political ideals and their inexcusable appetite for murder and rape. These vivid stories of the scoundrel outlaws and their bloody deeds, they have captivated readers for centuries, and will keep doing so for centuries to come. Nowhere before or after has the waterways been so infested with crime, as to almost have its perpetrators form a republic of their own.
In this latest edition from 2017 pirate scholar Johan Franzén, Master of Arts in Comparative Literature and General History from the Åbo Akademi University, sheds new light on this historical account. His research is here for the first time made available to the broad public, and it comes with valuable insights into the controversial attribution of authorship, and the problems arising when using this work as a source in historical research.
This edition includes volume one and two plus the additions made to volume two.
