Synopsis :

Originally published in 1724, this is an account of the lives and exploits of some of the most notorious pirates of the day, including Mary Read, Anne Bonny, Blackbeard and Captain Kidd.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Originally published in 1724, this instantaneous bestseller delivered a dramatic and detailed chronicle of robbery and murder on the high seas. The General History's vivid prose and graphic accounts not only were mainly responsible for the posthumous reputations of Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, but also have inspired fictional pirates, from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to Errol Flynn's movies.
