Black Corsair

Emilio Salgari is one of the masters of the adventure genre, who received the nickname Italian Jules Verne. His life was filled with amazing contradictions: dreaming of traveling, he never left the limits of his native Italy, the circulation of his books reached hundreds of thousands of copies, he was awarded the title of the knight of the Order of the Italian crown for his contribution to literature, but he never crawled out of poverty. Having lived only 48 years, Salgari left behind about eighty magnificent novels, soaked in the romance of distant wanderings.
The readers always enjoyed novels about the cavalier Di Ventimil, nicknamed the brothers with a black corsar. Black Corsair devoted his life to the treasure to the treacherous enemy, the Duke of Van Gulda, who killed his brothers. He vowed to erase the whole family of the traitor from the face of the earth, but suddenly, next to the Duke, he finds a beautiful woman who conquers his heart. And on one side of the scales, his indestructible oath is, and on the other - love for a woman, without whom he does not want to live ...
In the present edition, three novels about the Black Corsair are published in the same volume and are accompanied by a complete set of illustrations of wonderful artists Ventseeslav Chern and Alberto Della Valle
