A person who wants and tries to live honestly in harmony with his conscience, caring for others, must become a pirate in the face of the law and public opinion. Covers the beginning of 1700. The War of the Spanish Succession begins and continues for more than half a century. The story tells about the whole life of the hero from 12 years old. How he became an investigator, pirate hunter, and officer. How things have changed. There is a lot of history and the life of people, where the hero chews everything out as much as possible. Those who do not know history or geography at all will be very surprised by the real facts. The plot is intertwined with the historical life of people, their way of life. The topics were taken from school, they are pleasant to remember, and those who did not know will be dumbfounded. Reminds me of the "I Explore the World" series of books. Easy to read. The basis was taken from: Captain Nemo, Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe. Published in the author's edition while preserving the author's spelling and punctuation.
