Synopsis
This book analyzes the image of the pirate presented nowadays and compares it with the figure of the pirate as presented in the oldest documented sources. Thus, the reader will see what Greek literature has said about them in works such as the Odyssey and will learn about some of the oldest historical figures such as Madduwatta. The book also tells about the culture of the Sea Peoples that gave rise to the Greek Dark Ages.

Breve Historia de los Piratas
Seller: Agapea Libros, Malaga, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: NEW. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro cuenta el trasfondo real que existe detrás de la imagen del pirata que se ha difundido en la actualidad. Para ello, la autora acude a las referencias más antiguas que aparecen sobre ellos. Así, para empezar, narra lo que los mitos y la literatura griega han dicho sobre ellos en textos como La Odisea. Asimismo, ya entrando de lleno en los datos históricos, se mencionan a algunos de sus exponentes reales más antiguos como Madduwatta. También trata de la cultura de los Pueblos del mar que dieron inicio a la Época Oscura. Muchos fueron los piratas que asolaron las aguas del Mediterráneo en la época arcaica. Asaltaron a los fenicios, combatieron a los persas y pusieron en jaque al Imperio romano. En el siglo VII, llegaron los veloces drakkars usados por los vikingos y aparecieron también los dhows mozambiqueños. Después, en Oriente, en el siglo XII, surgieron los terribles piratas japoneses (los wokou) que se adueñaron de las costas de China y Corea. Sin embargo, la gloria de la piratería llegó en los siglos XVI y XVII sobre las aguas calientes del Caribe. Fue entonces cuando se escribió el capítulo más característico de su historia y cuando, además, fue usada como arma por Inglaterra, Francia y Holanda. Finalmente, este libro también hace referencia a las mujeres piratas más relevantes que han existido en la Historia. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
