The Pirate City: An Algerine Tale by R.M. Ballantyne tells the gripping story of young Dick Varley, captured by Barbary pirates and taken to the notorious pirate stronghold of Algiers.

He befriends fellow captives and witnesses naval battles, treachery, and acts of heroism. The novel vividly portrays 19th-century Mediterranean piracy and European efforts to suppress it. Blending adventure, suspense, and moral conviction, Ballantyne delivers a thrilling tale of survival, resilience, and the triumph of good over evil in a lawless land.
