"Detailed and true narratives of all the famous robberies and inhuman cruelties committed by the English and French robbers over the Spanish population of America, consisting of three parts. Wrote A.O. Excvemelin, who, by the will of fate, was a participant in all these pirate campaigns. The book is illustrated with fine prints, maps and portraits." - The book of the Dutch doctor Excvemelin, first published in 1618, and withstood many reprints around the world, is a real "bible" of pirate literature. But, unlike subsequent authors who worked in the field of "pirate" fiction, Excvemelin was not a romantic, and he was the only one who left us a genuine artistic testimony of the events in which he was a participant. The evidence is cold, impartial and credible.
