Pirates: Swashbuckling Stories from the Seven Seas
Editat de Jennifer Willisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2004
The
surprising
success
of
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean,
a
new
screen
adaptation
of
the
classic
Peter
Pan,
and
the
Russell
Crowe
film
Master
and
Commander
have
fueled
interest
in
seagoing
swashbucklers.
There
is
a
rich
literature
on
pirates—both
in
fiction
and
nonfiction.
This
collection
offers
excerpts
from
the
works
of
contemporary
authors:
Patrick
O'Brian's
riveting
account
of
a
sea
battle
with
Borneo's
pirates
will
enthrall
his
fans;
Farley
Mowat's
The
Black
Joke
is
a
rousing
adventure
of
the
rum-running
set
in
the
1930s
and
written
in
the
tradition
of
the
great
classic
pirate
tales.
Readers
will
also
discover
and
rediscover
the
most
infamous
pirates
of
yore,
from
Treasure
Island's
Long
John
Silver
to
Peter
Pan's
Captain
Hook.
They'll
encounter
pirate
adventures
from
neglected
classics
such
as
L.
Frank
Baum's
Pirates
in
Oz,
Alexandre
Dumas's
The
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
and
Rafael
Sabatini's
Captain
Blood.
And
they'll
find
accounts
of
the
dastardly
deeds
of
female
pirates
both
real
(Anne
Bonney
and
Mary
Read)
and
imagined
(Arthur
Ransome's
Chinese
pirate
Miss
Lee).
Pirates
also
draws
upon
colorful
true-life
accounts
and
authentic
first-person
narratives
of
pirates—and
their
victims—discovered
in
nearly
forgotten
works
such
as
The
Pirates
Own
Book
and
Captured
by
Pirates.
