Emilio Salgari is one of the masters of the adventure genre, nicknamed "Italian Jules Verne". His life was filled with amazing contradictions: dreaming of traveling, he never left his native Italy; circulation of his books reached hundreds of thousands of copies, for his contribution to literature he was awarded the title of knight of the Order of the Italian Crown, but he never got out of poverty. Having lived only 48 years, Salgari left behind about eighty magnificent novels, saturated with the romance of distant wanderings. The novels about Cavalera di Ventimiglia, nicknamed the Black Corsair by his brothers, have always enjoyed special love among readers. The Black Corsair dedicated his life to vengeance against the treacherous enemy, Duke Van Gould, who killed his brothers. He vowed to wipe out the whole family of the traitor, but unexpectedly, next to the duke, he finds a beautiful woman who wins his heart. And now his unbreakable oath is on one side of the scale, and on the other is his love for a woman, without whom he does not want to live ... In this edition, three novels about the Black Corsair are published in one volume and are accompanied by a complete set of illustrations by wonderful artists Wenceslas Cerna and Alberto Della Valle.
