French writer Henri de Montfreid (1879-1974) began his career as a diplomat in the French mission in Calcutta, then for some time he was engaged in commerce - he traded in leather and coffee. However, all his life he was attracted by sea adventures, and at 32 he finally leaves public service and goes to the French colony of Djibouti, where he is engaged in pearl mining. On the advice of the famous French writer Joseph Kessel, he wrote his first story "Secrets of the Red Sea" - about pearl catchers, which was enthusiastically received by readers, and the fame of the "corsair writer" was firmly established for the writer. His next story, "Sea Adventures," is about the underground arms trade, in which Intelligence Service is involved, about relations in the French colony, about hostility with the British. The stories are full of marvelous descriptions of exotic countries and customs of local tribes. The action takes place at the beginning of the 20th century in East Africa.
