Description

Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin ist der Autor des vorliegenden Buches, das 1678 im holländischen Original unter dem Titel "Americaensche Zee-Rovers" erstmalig veröffentlicht wurde. Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts fuhr er als Bediensteter mit der "Westindien-Kompagnie" nach Tortuga, wo er nach der Versklavung als Freibeuter anheuerte und unter anderem mit dem berühmten Piraten Henry Morgan auf Kaperfahrt ging. Exquemelin berichtet aus erster Hand vom spannenden Piratenleben und vermittelt dem Leser einen realistischen Eindruck in die Welt der Piraten sowie Wissenswerter über Flora und Fauna auf den Karibikinseln. Dieses E-Book behält den zeitgenössischen Charakter der Ursprungsfassung bei und beschreibt eindrucksvoll anhand zahlreicher Bilder, die unter anderem auch als Vorlagen für aktuelle Piratenfilme dienten, das harte und brutale Leben der Freibeuter. Das Vorwort stammt von Rolf-Peter Baacke, der ein ausgewiesener Kenner der Kulturgeschichte der Piraten ist.
