Description

When the Jolly Roger flies from the mast and the hold is full of rum, the blood starts to boil and countless treasures and depraved beauties seem to drift into one’s hands by themselves.

This historically accurate account of the lives of the “noble robbers” carries to us across the centuries the living breath of the age when the Caribbean Sea was one of the most dangerous and alluring places on Earth. And all desperate seekers of adventure were drawn to the capital of the pirate world, Tortuga, drowning in gold, blood, and sin.

The clink of pieces of eight and the whistle of sabers, desperate bravery and nobility, treachery and greed—everything is here in the mysterious and captivating book by the legendary Alexander Olivier Exquemelin, which inspired the creators of the film “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
