Download or read book The Golden Age of Piracy written by Benerson Little and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, pirates have terrorized the ocean voyager and the coastal inhabitant, plundered ship and shore, and wrought havoc on the lives and livelihoods of rich and poor alike. Around these desperate men has grown a body of myths and legends—fascinating tales that today strongly influence our notions of pirates and piracy. Most of these myths derive from the pirates of the “Golden Age,” from roughly 1655 to 1725. This was the age of the Spanish Main, of Henry Morgan and Blackbeard, of Bartholomew Sharp and Bartholomew Roberts. The history of pirate myth is rich in action, at sea and ashore. However, the truth is far more interesting. In The Golden Age of Piracy, expert pirate historian Benerson Little debunks more than a dozen pirate myths that derive from this era—from the flying of the Jolly Roger to the burying of treasure, from walking the plank to the staging of epic sea battles—and shows that the truth is far more fascinating and disturbing than the romanticized legends. Among Little’s revelations are that pirates of the Golden Age never made their captives walk the plank and that they, instead, were subject to horrendous torture, such as being burned or hung by their arms. Likewise, epic sea battles involving pirates were fairly rare because most prey surrendered immediately. The stories are real and are drawn heavily from primary sources. Complementing them are colorful images of flags, ships, and buccaneers based on eyewitness accounts. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

This book was released on 2017-05-11T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marcus Rediker est le grand historien des hors-la-loi de l'Atlantique. Il explore ici le monde fascinant de l'aventure maritime du point de vue des pirates, flibustiers, travailleurs forcés en révolte, esclaves marrons, fuyards et autres mutins, qui ont défié l'autorité depuis le pont inférieur des navires. Il nous fait entrer dans leur univers de récits et de contes de marins, retrouver la signification de leurs tatouages, comprendre les formes d'organisation égalitaire au sein de la piraterie et les rebellions de différentes catégories de travailleurs de la mer asservis – européens et africains – de ces " équipages bigarrés ", pénétrés d'esprit révolutionnaire et défendant leur liberté par le feu et par les armes. Il montre à quel point, entre le xviie et début du xixe siècle, ces hommes ont façonné l'histoire du monde contemporain – trop longtemps focalisée sur le national, le rôle des élites politiques et l'histoire " terrestre ". Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Aurélien Blanchard. Marcus Rediker est professeur d'histoire atlantique à l'université de Pittsburg. Historien, écrivain et militant des droits de l'homme, il est spécialiste de l'histoire maritime et notamment de l'Atlantique. Il a publié neuf livres, parmi lesquels À bord du négrier. Une histoire atlantique de la traite (Seuil, 2013, George Washington Book Prize) et Les Révoltés de l'Amistad. Une odyssée atlantique (Seuil, 2015).

Book excerpt: The groundbreaking history of the Atlantic slave trade, winner of the Mark Lynton History Prize, the Frederick Douglass Book Prize, and the J. Russell Major Prize. In The Diligent, acclaimed historian Robert Harms reveals the complex workings of the slave trade by drawing on the private journal of First Lieutenant Robert Durand to recreate the macabre journey of a French slave ship. The Diligent began her journey in Brittany in 1731, and Harms follows her along the African coast where her goods were traded for slaves, then to Martinique where her captives were sold to work on sugar plantations. He brings to life a world in which slavery was carried out without qualms: the gruesome details of daily life aboard a slave ship, French merchants wrangling for the right to traffic in slaves, African kings waging epic wars for control of slave trading posts, and representatives of European governments negotiating the complicated politics of the Guinea coast to ensure a steady supply of labor for their countries' colonies. By combining the detailed story of an expedition with an exploration of the significant personalities and events that were shaping Europe, West Africa, and the Caribbean in the early eighteenth century, The Diligent provides an intimate understanding of a horrifying world.
