A young French nobleman and a renegade Italian priest turn pirate and found Libertalia, a free republic on Madagascar where slaves are freed, property is shared and men of every nation live as equals. This account from the second volume of A General History of the Pyrates (1728) appears in a scholarly reprint with an introduction on its authorship.
A strange and remarkable early utopian fiction, still argued over by historians of piracy and radical thought. Download the free EPUB.
