The Black Corsair - Illustrated and Annotated Youth Edition

Emilio Salgari

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.

The Christmas Story as it will...

Stephen S. Ahokas

Thoroughly researched and thoughtfully written, Dr. Ahokas has provided his readers with a deeper understanding of the meaning and significance of Jesus' birth as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" I would encourage you to read "The Christmas Story...Forever Told" during the advent season or any time of the year to gain a greater appreciation for the wonderful gift of God's Son. -Evangelist Danny Ottoson
Steve (Dr. Stephen Ahokas) has put his whole heart into this project. He has relentlessly researched, sought pastoral and critical counsel, and tirelessly created a unique devotional study. He effectively communicates some oft-overlooked details surrounding the birth of Christ that should get you thinking about the circumstances of His birth and drop you to your knees in worship of Him as your personal Savior. Every person who takes a few minutes each day during the advent season to ponder the Christmas Story along with Steve ought to walk away a more equipped believer in the real story of Christmas. -Pastor Paul Klassen
For over two thousand years Christians have been trying to understand and explain the meaning and significance of the birth of Christ without delving into how and what it spoke to the Jewish people (His people) at the time of His birth. Consequently, the full meaning of the birth of Christ and the Christmas season is not commonly understood by the masses. This book clears up the misunderstandings by examining how and what the circumstances of Christ's birth spoke to His people at the time of His birth. In so doing, it reveals the deeper meaning to us all of referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.
