Beschreibung

"The Black Corsair" is often considered the most perfect of all Salgari's novels, where the prose of the Italian writer achieves the fluidity and the most refined style of his entire output. And it is, above all, one of the quintessential adventure novels. In a perfect blend of fiction and history, Salgari transports us to the Caribbean, where the most famous Italian pirate, Emilio di Rocannera, Lord of Ventimiglia, better known as The Black Corsair, must carry out his revenge for the death of his brothers at the hands of Wan Guld, the Flemish governor of Maracaibo during the historic assault by L'Olonnais on the city of Maracaibo.

The novel, which skillfully mixes historical reality with fiction, is an exciting narrative through the Caribbean, containing all the main ingredients of a pirate adventure book: intrigue, action, and passion. This edition, adapted for a younger audience and beautifully illustrated, is ideal for introducing young readers to Salgari's adventures, or for adults who wish to revisit "The Black Corsair" in a quick and enjoyable manner.
