Synopsis

This book is a compelling study of the infamous pirate 'Captain Kidd,' whose true story is far more nuanced than the caricature of a bloodthirsty buccaneer. The author delves into historical accounts and literary depictions, exploring the complex interplay between a man's actions, popular perception, and the distortion of history. By separating fact from fiction, this book unveils the motivations behind Kidd's notorious reputation. The author argues that Kidd's pursuit of justice against pirates was twisted into a tale of piracy, highlighting the dangers of sensationalism and the importance of accurate historical accounts. Through this fascinating study, the book not only sheds light on a misunderstood figure but also examines the nature of truth and the power of storytelling.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
