It is probably aimed at the vocabulary and interests of an eleven year old boy which seems about right for my Italian level and attention span. The story, set in the s, follows the adventures of the Black Corsair, a dread pirate set on avenging the deaths of his brothers the Red Corsair, the Green Corsair, and a non-pirate brother.
The surviving brother pursues his vendetta against the Governor with a tenacity that borders on the unhinged, swearing an oath to kill the Governor and everyone related to him. In the process, he and his companions face off against just about every challenge imaginable on the sea and in the jungle - a torrential hurricane, poisonous snakes, a snake charmer, jaguars, vampire bats, quicksand, duels of honor, bloody raids based on historical events on Maracaibo and Gibraltar, Venezuela, and, of course, a beautiful Flemish duchess captured in a sea battle who just happens to have a mysterious background.

A a result, more recently, when I was contacted by a representative at ROH Press and offered a free review copy of an English translation of Salgari's pirate yarn The Black Corsair, I was thrilled to take him up on the offer. The governor of Maracaibo, Van Guld, a Flemish defector to the Spanish, has shot his elder brother and hanged his two younger brothers. Now only the Lord of Ventimiglia, also known and feared across the Caribbean as the Black Corsair, is left--and Van Guld has sworn to finish his work.
After sneaking into Maracaibo to rescue his youngest brother's body from the gallows, the Black Corsair pulls together a coalition of the Tortuga pirates to storm Maracaibo--but Van Guld is as cunning as he is cruel, and more than one surprise waits for the Black Corsair along the way! As you might guess, this is thrill-a-minute book, intended not to have a dull chapter in it. Reading it, I understood Salgari's appeal. The adventure goes from one peril to the next, complete with a dash of romance, humour, and plenty of gore.
Wikipedia informs me that Sergio Leone cited Salgari as an influence on his spaghetti Westerns, and having now had the opportunity of reading one of his books, I can appreciate the influence. All the same, The Black Corsair wasn't without some rather significant flaws.
For me, the most disappointing thing was the lack of conflict in the characterisation. For a book about pirates seeking bloody revenge on the high seas, this story had the most agreeable cast of characters I've ever met! From the hero's three sidekicks, to the vast number of people whom the Corsair dueled, captured, or had dinner with over the course of the narrative, none of them seemed ever to have even mild disagreements, either with each other or with the Corsair. Sure, the constant petty conflict in most current-day books gets on my nerves just as it gets on yours.
However, I found myself longing that perhaps one of the Corsair's devoted followers would turn out to be holding some kind of grudge, or that one of the noblemen he dueled at some point would not immediately swear gentlemanly friendship with him immediately afterward.
The reason for this is that conflict drives story, and the conflict we as readers find most compelling is not battles and duels so much as it's interpersonal or internal conflict. There was plenty of external conflict in this story, but it was almost fatally short on interpersonal conflict. As a result, I found it difficult to care about the characters, even though the story itself was never short on thrilling coincidences.
My patience was then further tested by the ending, which came with no resolution, just a maddening cliffhanger. I was completely unprepared for this, and considerably annoyed when it happened. Where was the swashbuckler I was promised? This was only half of it! For the rest of the story, I'd have to consult the sequel, Queen of the Caribbean. Enough to make you take to piracy yourself. That said, there was also plenty to appreciate in this story.
Salgari evidently writes with the intention of being educational as well as entertaining, and I found the level of detail he included in his work pretty impressive. One chapter takes a moment to give you a frankly completely fascinating overview of the history of piracy in the Caribbean, the South American jungles are lovingly and even pedantically described, and the nautical details evidently draw on Salgari's own experience as a student of seamanship in his youth.
As far as themes go, the fact that the story doesn't conclude in this volume makes it difficult to pass any firm judgement. While the pirates are depicted sympathetically and act with probably more of a sense of honour than they would have in real life, Salgari doesn't shy away from rather gritty depictions of battle. And while the revenge motive drives the plot, it leads to an obviously idiotic decision on the part of the hero at the end, which I have no doubt at all will be reversed somehow in the sequel.
In the final analysis, I think I probably would have enjoyed this novel a whole lot more if I'd come to it much younger, with much less exacting taste. It was eminently respectable escapist fun, and while I don't know if I'd seek out any of Salgari's other novels for myself, it's definitely worth keeping in mind as good reading-fodder for the young. Nov 28, Mark rated it really liked it. I'm a native English speaker but have studied Italian off and on since college. Since I've been doing extensive research into the history of the Italian side of my family and among my discoveries was Emilio Salgari.
I decided to read one of his books in Italian I read on my Kindle with an Italian-English dictionary on my iPhone and have thoroughly enjoyed it.
