SEVERIN, TIM - Corsair
London, Macmillan. 2007. (ISBN: 9781405088886). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 347 pages. Second printing. 1677 - snatched from an Irish village by Barbary corsairs, a 17 year old Hector Lynch is sold at auction in Algiers. Befriended by fellow captive Dan, a Miskito Indian from the Caribbean, he finds himself in a bewildering world where life is cheap and only the quick-witted survive. To escape the horrors of the slave barracks, the two friends convert to Islam; then, serving aboard a Turkish ship, their vessel is sunk at sea. By a savage twist of fortune they are condemned to further slavery - this time for their Christian masters, when they are chained to the oar bench of a French galley with vagabonds and convicts for company. Throughout his ordeal Hector is driven by the need to find out what happened to his sister, Elisabeth, who was also kidnapped by the corsairs. He learns the chilling truth when he and his colourful band of brothers are shipwrecked off the coast of Morocco. 22. Fine/Fine.
