Synopsis

Este libro cuenta el trasfondo real que existe detrAs de la imagen del pirata que se ha difundido en la actualidad. Para ello, la autora acude a las referencias mAs antiguas que aparecen sobre ellos. AsI, 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 histOricos, se mencionan a algunos de sus exponentes reales mAs antiguos como Madduwatta. TambiEn trata de la cultura de los Pueblos del mar que dieron inicio a la Epoca Oscura. Muchos fueron los piratas que asolaron las aguas del MediterrAneo en la Epoca 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 tambiEn los dhows mozambiqueNos. DespuEs, en Oriente, en el siglo XII, surgieron los terribles piratas japoneses (los wokou) que se adueNaron de las costas de China y Corea. Sin embargo, la gloria de la piraterIa llegO en los siglos XVI y XVII sobre las aguas calientes del Caribe. Fue entonces cuando se escribiO el capItulo mAs caracterIstico de su historia y cuando, ademAs, fue usada como arma por Inglaterra, Francia y Holanda. Finalmente, este libro tambiEn hace referencia a las mujeres piratas mAs relevantes que han existido en la Historia.

From the Back Cover

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.
