Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who created the most famous Southeast Asian hero during the heyday of imperialism and colonialism? Who inaugurated with The Mysteries of the Black Jungle over a century long link uniting the Italian imaginary to the Indian one? Who envisioned the most celebrated interracial love stories of world literature, those between Sandokan, leader of the Tigers of Mompracem, and Marianna, the Pearl of Labuan, between Tremal-Naik, the Bengali snake catcher, and Ada, the Virgin of Kali’s temple at the time of the British Raj? Who defined the Caribbean as a symbolic trope of plunder and rebellion through the melancholic viewpoint of the Black Corsair and the forsaken love for his enemy’s daughter? Who created Yanez de Gomera, a most famous Portuguese hero, and the imperfect voice of white anti-colonialism? It was Italy’s great adventure novelist, Emilio Salgari (Verona, 1862 – Turin, 1911). From the Mahdi’s revolt in Sudan to the African slave trade, from the Philippine insurgency to the Mediterranean at war between Turks and Christians, and to ancient Egypt, Salgari’s breath-taking plots, together with his indigenous heroes and heroines in Vietnam, Thailand, Venezuela, Arctic Canada, the American Far West, the Chinese diaspora, deeply challenge canonical colonialist representations by contemporary Victorian authors like Conrad, Kipling, and Forster.

Book excerpt: William Mac-Lellan ha subito un grave torto che ha mutato il corso della sua vita. Il marchese d'Halifax, l'arrogante e cinico fratellastro, gli ha sottratto la donna amata, Mary di Wentwort. Egli, che ha sangue francese nelle vene, ha rinnegato la sua patria adottiva (il Regno di Gran Bretagna) per vendicarsi, ponendo la sua spada e la sua nave, la Tuonante, a servizio della causa americana. Il giovane Baronetto sa, infatti, che la sua amata si trova proprio a Boston, tenuta dagli inglesi, e cinta d'assedio dagli insorti americani. Egli lascia la sua corvetta nel porto come appoggio alle navi americane e con una lancia tenta di raggiungere il forto per liberare la fanciulla. Lo accompagnano, nell'audace impresa, due singoli personaggi: il mastro d'equipaggio Testa di Pietra, un bretone tutto d'un pezzo e rotto a tutte le astuzie, e il giovane gabbiere Piccolo Flocco. Nonostante l'infuriare dell'assedio William Mac-Lellan sa che il momento è propizio per passare inosservato. Gli inglesi sono impegnati a respingere il nemico e a mantenere il controllo della popolazione che minaccia di sollevarsi trovandosi con poco cibo e scarsa acqua. Ma, come sempre avviene nei romanzi di Emilio Salgari, ogni progetto ha i suoi imprevisti. L'impresa, contrastata da circostanze altramente drammatiche, risospinge l'avventura salgariana in alto mare, in una guerra corsara contro navi inglesi che tentano di forzare il blocco. Mentre gli insorti americani riescono vittoriosi (il presidio inglese di Boston è infatti costretto ad arrendersi) meno felice è l'epilogo della vicenda privata di William Mac-Lellan. Il marchese d'Halifax sembra vincere e con la sua prigioniera scompare all'orizzonte con una veloce fregata. Ma la battaglia finale è solo rimandata al secondo libro del ciclo: La crociera della Tuonante.

Book excerpt: Sandokán, un joven príncipe malayo, subió al trono de Mulder, en la isla asiática de Borneo, cuando apenas tenía veinte años. Pronto comenzó a hacerse fuerte y a conquistar los reinos cercanos. Entonces, viendo amenazado su poder, los hombres blancos, principalmente ingleses y holandeses, se aliaron con el sultán de Varauni para derrotarlo. Las traiciones se sucedían y pronto se asesinó a toda la familia del joven soberano. Sandokán resistió todo lo que pudo, pero acabó siendo vencido por sus enemigos. Entonces, se dedicó a piratear por Borneo al mando de un puñado de valientes que no le habían abandonado. Era perseguido, y, con el paso de los años, se embarcó con sus "cachorros", como él cariñosamente les llamaba, hasta Mompracem, isla que convirtió en su hogar y que pronto se convertiría en el terror del mar de Malasia.
