"The Pirates of America is one of the most important sources of information about the 17th-century flibusters. According to one theory, the book is the memoirs of an employee of the French West India Company: when trade relations failed, all of the company's servants, including Exquemelin, were sold into slavery. Despite grueling work, starvation, severe illness.
he found himself free - "naked as Adam". His knowledge of medicine enabled Exquemelin to become a ship's doctor for a pirate crew and to be a participant in the life of sea robbers until 1672. Intelligence and observation allowed the author not only to return to his homeland, but also to illuminate in his work the life of both slaves and nobles of the XVII century, pirate "life" and customs, to tell in detail about the campaigns and battles of famous pirate leaders - such as, for example, Henry Morgan and Francois Ohlone - and, in addition, to describe in detail the flora and fauna of the Caribbean islands. The publication is addressed to historians, students of humanities and all those interested in history.
