A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish invasion of England during the reign of Elizabeth I, The Sea Hawk is a classic of the pirate genre. Sir Oliver Tressilian is betrayed by a jealous half-brother and forced to serve as a slave on a galley. He is liberated when the ship is hijacked by Barbary pirates. Sir Oliver joins the pirates, gaining the name "Sakr-el-Bahr" (the hawk of the sea), and swears vengeance against his brother. The book was the basis for The Sea Hawk, the popular 1940 Errol Flynn swashbuckler.

The Sea-Hawk, originally published in 1915, is the story of a Cornish gentleman, Sir Oliver Tressilian, who is betrayed by a jealous brother. Liberated from slavery aboard a Spanish galley, Sir Oliver joins the Barbary pirates who freed him. Taking the name "Sakr-el-Bahr," the hawk of the sea, he swears vengeance against his brother.
