  • Pirates: A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates

Le Pitch

Présentation de l'éditeur Captain Charles Johnson's General History of Pirates was one of the best-selling books of 1724, when it was first published. It provides a sweeping account of what has come to be called the Golden Age of Piracy. It went through four editions in two years, and without doubt owed a substantial part of its success to a dramatic writing style that vividly captures the realities of pirates' savage existence. The book contains documentary evidence of events during the lives of its subjects. In the 270 years since its original publication, Johnson's work has come to be regarded as the classic study of one of the most popular subjects in maritime history. Biographie de l'auteur David Cordingly was Keeper of Pictures and Head of Exhibitions at the National Maritime Museum for twelve years, where he organised such exhibitions as Captain James Cook, Navigator, The Mutiny on the Bounty and Pirates: Fact and Fiction. His other books include Life among the Pirates, Heroines and Harlots and the highly praised Billy Ruffian. Afficher moins Afficher plus
