The adventure novel “The Man of Fire” is, alongside “The Black Corsair,” one of Emilio Salgari’s outstanding works—the famous Italian writer. Minute-by-minute dynamics of events leave no time even to think about reading the book another time.
The thrilling events unfold during the era of active conquest of the New World. A Portuguese shipwrecks off the shores of unexplored territories of Brazil. Only two crew members remain alive; they must pass through impassable jungle, survive among endless numbers of wild and dangerous animals, cannibal savages, display great courage and unparalleled bravery. And the brightest adventures await the heroes in the Tupinambá tribe, where Álvaro will become the Man of Fire.
