Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book sets out to discover the truth behind the stereotypical image of the pirate. Examining the rich literary and cultural legacy of piratical icons from Blackbeard to Captain Hook, the author compares the legends with their historical counterparts and comes up with some surprising conclusions.

And were pirates really dashing highwaymen of the seven seas or just vicious cutthroats and robbers. From Long John Silver to Henry Morgan, Robert Louis Stevenson to J.M.
