Παρουσίαση
In response to slanderous allegations made by his former biographers accusing him of rape, murder, and plunder beyond mere piracy, Captain Avery here writes his true history, refuting the rumours, and detailing the means by which he came to be proclaimed King of Madagascar. In the process, Avery reveals himself a pragmatist, schemer and rogue, a magpie with a penchant for fine jewels, but nevertheless a man whose morality is not so very alien to our own... Expanding upon his life only where he deems it 'useful and entertaining' to do so, Avery provides a full account of his life as captain of pirate ships the world over, the result being a nautical narrative involving buried treasure, surprise cargo, and fortune foul and fair.Composed in response to the success of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe's lesser-known The King of Pirates is a further tale of high adventure at sea, and a first-hand account of pirate living.
