Gustav Emar is a recognized classic of the adventure genre, a novelist with extensive experience of sea voyages and dangerous expeditions to little-explored areas of Africa and South America. He commanded a pirate brigantine and languished in captivity among the Indians of Patagonia, and these adventures of the adventurer writer are reflected in dozens of brilliant novels that are read in one breath. The novel “Black Bird” is about the confrontation between white settlers and Texas Indians, led by a brave and cruel leader nicknamed Black Bird. Edition prepared based on the text of 1898.
