Specificatii
Famed for his enduring fictional masterpieces Robinson Crusoe and
Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe also possessed considerable expertise
in maritime affairs. As a commission merchant, importer, shipowner,
and an active journalist who reported ship news and interviewed
surviving pirates, Defoe achieved a high degree of authority on the
subject of buccaneers. His knowledge was such that his book, A
General History of the Pyrates, remains the major source of
information about piracy in the first quarter of the 18th
century.Reprinted here in its entirety, this fascinating history
abounds in tales of flamboyant outlaws and their bloody deeds:
Captain Edward Teach, alias Blackbeard; Captain William Kidd, whose
trial and execution created a sensation throughout London and the
world; Bartholomew Roberts, one of the most successful pirates of
the era, whose crews captured an estimated 400 prizes in three
years; Mary Read and Anne Bonny, who disguised themselves as men to
sail under the Jolly Roger with the ill-fated Captain John Rackham;
and many more.An engrossing blend of fact and fiction --
incorporating Defoe's celebrated flair for journalistic detail --
these lively tales of seafaring rogues and rascals and their
ill-gotten gains will captivate armchair sailors, maritime
enthusiasts and any lover of adventure on the high seas. This
unique work has been edited by noted scholar Manuel Schonhorn, who
has also supplied a provocative Postscript to the Dover Edition
offering insights into the vast popularity of this subject in
today's theater, movies, TV specials, magazine articles, lavish
books, and maritime exhibitions. In an added Note on the Author and
the Text, Professor Schonhorn also examines the arguments for and
against Defoe's very authorship of this important book.
