Summary: "The Corsair King" by Mór Jókai is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Robert Barthelemy, a daring pirate who rises to infamy on the high seas. The narrative encompasses themes of adventure, treachery, and the personal yearning for love and vengeance, all anchored in the turbulent life of piracy amidst shifting allegiances and brutal encounters. At the start of the novel, the crew of a brigantine, led by Captain Rolls, faces dire straits after a storm and a subsequent pirate attack. The scene unfolds with tension as the captain addresses his crew about their recent decisions due to the storm, particularly the grim choice made concerning sick crew members and cargo. As the fight erupts with the notorious pirate Barthelemy and his crew, we see the complexities of loyalty, valor, and survival in a harsh world.
