Translation from the Turkish language of the famous and not having analogues of the book of Emrah Safa Gurkan about the daily life of corsers in the Ottoman Empire, their life, morals, culinary preferences, the structure of their ships. The reader finds out what realities were hidden behind the sometimes sinister or romantic legends about these people of the sea: how they organized attacks, how they shared prey, how they arranged their ports and dwellings, how they built diplomatic relations with the civilized world.
