The adventure novels "The Fireman" and "The Treasure of the Blue Mountains" by the Italian master of adventure fiction, Emilio Salgari, are set during the European exploration of the New World. Desperate adventurers head for the wild, uncharted shores of South America, into impenetrable jungles teeming with dangers and mysteries. The historical context of the Age of Discovery, colonial conquests, and the rivalry of European powers adds intrigue and thrill to the narrative. Emilio Salgari's prose, whose works have been compared to the novels of Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Fenimore Cooper, fully conveys the spirit of selfless courage, inexhaustible energy, resourcefulness, and daring characteristic of the heroes of adventure literature at the turn of the 20th century.
"The Fireman" tells the story of two sailors who survived the wreck of a Portuguese merchant ship: the noble Señor Álvaro de Corrêa and the ship's cabin boy, Garcia. They face a struggle for survival in the Brazilian wilderness, teeming with poisonous snakes, insects, plants, and predatory animals, as well as risky interactions with the natives.
"The Treasure of the Blue Mountains" is a gripping story of a search for the treasures of an ancient civilization. It begins when Fernando de Belgrano's ship is wrecked off the coast of New Caledonia, and the hero, miraculously saved, finds himself among the local tribes. Over time, he even becomes their leader, but all the while he yearns for his distant homeland and the children who grew up without him. Only at the end of his days does he receive the opportunity to send word to his family, and along with the letter, he sends a map of the unknown land. The edition is accompanied by classic illustrations by Alberto Della Valle and Giovanni Battista Carpanetto.
