Beschreibung

Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates is a classic collection of pirate tales, legends, historical sketches, and illustrations by one of America's great storytellers and artists. Drawing on the romance of the Spanish Main, buried treasure, sea battles, privateers, buccaneers, captains, cutthroats, and rogues, Pyle helped define the modern visual and literary image of the pirate: bold, dangerous, theatrical, and inseparable from the world of adventure fiction.
Published after Pyle's death, this collection brings together material that reflects his lasting influence on children's adventure literature, illustration, and the popular imagination of piracy. For readers interested in classic pirate stories, illustrated adventure fiction, maritime tales, Golden Age illustration, children's classics, and traditional boys' adventure books, Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates remains one of the central works in the formation of pirate legend as it is still recognised today.

Über den Autor

Howard Pyle was an American illustrator, writer, teacher, and central figure in the development of American illustration. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1853, Pyle became famous for his historical adventure stories, Arthurian retellings, pirate tales, and richly dramatic illustrations. His books helped shape the visual language of medieval romance, colonial adventure, and pirate fiction for generations of readers. He also taught and influenced a major group of American illustrators, including N. C. Wyeth, and his work remains closely associated with the Golden Age of [...]'s writing and art combined historical imagination with strong narrative movement, memorable figures, and a powerful sense of costume, setting, and action. His works include The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Otto of the Silver Hand, Men of Iron, and several Arthurian volumes, but his pirate stories and pictures were especially influential. Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates, published in 1921, gathers the kind of material that made Pyle one of the defining creators of the modern pirate image in classic adventure literature and illustrated children's books.
