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 “Snake Worshipers” is about the sinister cult of Voodoo, about the magical rites and bloody rituals of the Haitian priests, who took up arms against the white enslavers. The edition was prepared based on the text of 1898.
