The novels "Adventurers", "Sea Gypsies", "Golden Castile", "Little Bear Iron Head", "The King's Son", "Sea Titans" are devoted to the formation and development of piracy, the fascinating adventures of many famous adventurers and the role of such statesmen as Richelieu, Louis XIII, Louis XIV in this matter.
All these works are united by a large number of main characters, outstanding corsairs of the 17th century, whose names have gone down in history. Incredible adventures and intrigues, love affairs, crazy fights and kidnappings, both at the courts of royalty and in pirate abodes off the coast of South America, allow you to learn a lot about people who valued personal freedom more than anything else in the world.
The image of the usual ragged and drunken pirate, replicated for many years in adventure literature, does not correspond much to what really happened. The works of G. Aimard are largely based on real historical documents and feature real historical characters. It is well known that many corsairs were fantastically rich and compared to them, the Sun King Louis XIV and his court looked almost beggars. The pirates ordered all their ships and weapons only from the best masters of Europe, which even the leading royal houses of the continent could not afford at that time.
A beautifully designed gift edition, decorated with relief blind and gold embossing. Three-sided gold edge, silk bookmark, a large number of engravings by ancient artists will take a worthy place in the collection of someone who appreciates books created with high artistic skill and will decorate any, even the most exquisite, library in the world.
