Synopsis

The fascinating world of pirates: From secret treasures to modern influences

In this unique volume, we delve into the dazzling and often misunderstood world of pirates, a culture marked as much by adventurousness as brutality. From history's most infamous pirate captains to the unexpected ways pirate culture remains alive in popular culture today, this book offers a profound and often surprising perspective.

Have you ever wondered why pirates really wore eye patches? Or why "Jolly Roger" was the preferred name for the black pirate flag with the skull and crossbones symbol? Discover incredible facts, such as the bizarre connection between pirates and parrots that emerged for the most amazing reasons, or the extraordinary story of the pirate William Kidd, whose supposed treasure still fascinates many treasure hunters.

The modern world may be a far cry from the era of sailing ships and the 17th century Caribbean, but the influences of piracy are still ever-present. Do you recognize the influence of pirates in fashion through designers like Vivienne Westwood? Or were you aware of the renaissance of the corset, often associated with pirate brides? And who would have thought that singing Sea Shanties, the traditional sea shanties, would become a trend on TikTok in 2021?

But the world of pirates is not limited to stories and folklore. The modern image of pirates still influences music, film, and even our everyday clothing. From "pirate metal" - yes, that's a real music genre - to memorable characters in movies like Captain Jack Sparrow and the quirky pirate portrayals in literature and film.

This book is not only a deep dive into history, but also a reflection of modern culture, showing how the image of the pirate lives on as a symbol of freedom, rebellion, and adventure. A must-read for anyone who loves the sea, mystery, and a boundless fascination with the unknown.

Notorious

Anonyme

A funny, suspenseful mystery and unlikely friendship story from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman—perfect for fans of Swindle and Ungifted. 
Keenan has lived all over the world but nowhere quite as strange as Centerlight Island, which is split between the United States and Canada. The only thing weirder than Centerlight itself is his neighbor Zarabeth, aka ZeeBee. 
ZeeBee is obsessed with the island’s history as a Prohibition-era smuggling route. She’s also convinced that her beloved dog, Barney, was murdered—something Keenan finds pretty hard to believe. 
Just about everyone on Centerlight is a suspect, because everyone hated Barney, a huge dog—part mastiff, part rottweiler—notorious for terrorizing the community. Accompanied by a mild-mannered new dog who is practically Barney’s opposite, ZeeBee enlists Keenan’s help to solve the mystery. 
As Keenan and ZeeBee start to unravel the clues, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that dates back to Centerlight’s gangster past. The good news is that Keenan may have found the best friend he’s ever had. The bad news is that the stakes are sky-high. 
And now someone is after them. . . .
