Everyone knows who John Silver, Captain Flint, Peter Blood and Jack Sparrow are. But these characters are the fruit of the imagination of writers and screenwriters.
And what do we know about the true sea robbers who reigned in the seventeenth century off the coast of Central America in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico? About François Lolonois and Henry Morgan, about Rock Brazilian and William Dampier, about female pirates Anne Bonnie and Mary Reed?
Historian Johann von Archenholtz’s book, which tells about the golden age of maritime piracy, is itself a legend: for more than two centuries it has been reprinted in all languages of the world; it was used by the screenwriters of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Without hiding the negative features of “gentlemen of luck” – bloodthirsty, greed, treachery – the author managed to show what one can admire in them: a proud and independent disposition, boundless courage, sometimes displayed by them nobility and generosity.
In this edition, the text is supplemented by rare engravings, real pirated maps, as well as works of painting and book graphics.
