CHARLES JOHNSON

Dal pirata Barbanera (Edward Teach) al temibile Roberts, fino alle donne pirata Mary Read e Anne Bonny. Dai Caraibi fino alle spiagge africane. Le gesta dei pirati attraversano la storia di interi continenti e nazioni: flagellarono le coste di mezzo mondo e affrontarono le piu temibili navi da guerra per accaparrarsi preziosi bottini sfidando la sorte fra colossali bevute di rum e privazioni di ogni tipo. Lasciarono una traccia unica e leggendaria, pagata spesso a prezzo della vita. Storia generale dei pirati, proposta qui in una nuova traduzione, racconta la vita di diciotto fra i pirati piu famosi e temuti e fu, fin dalla sua prima comparsa, nel 1724, un grande successo editoriale durato nel tempo fino a oggi. Ad accompagnare il testo lintroduzione originale dellopera e uno statuto a proposito della legislazione contro la pirateria.
