(Robert Michael) 1825 1894 Ballantyne, Robert Michael The Pirate City: An Algerine Tale Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_City:_An_Algerine_Tale Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Pirate City: An Algerine Tale" by R. M. Ballantyne is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous life of pirates operating from Algiers, exploring themes of adventure, bravery, and the harsh realities of life under piracy. The narrative introduces us to several characters, including the young Sicilian adventurer Mariano and his family, as they face the perils of the Mediterranean sea and the threat of Algerine corsairs. At the start of the tale, we meet the charming grandmother of Mariano, alongside her spirited grandson, who expresses his desire to sail rather than pursue a clerical life. As their family engages in light-hearted discussions, a dramatic turn arises when Mariano and his brother Lucien, alongside their father Francisco, prepare for a voyage that soon leads to a violent encounter with pirates. The scene quickly shifts to the pirate captain Sidi Hassan, who demonstrates the lawless and daunting world of piracy, leaving Mariano's family to contend with their unfortunate fate as they navigate the turbulent waters of danger, betrayal, and the fight for survival amidst the pirate's grip.
