The Black Corsair is a novel written by the Italian novelist Emilio Salgari. It narrates the exploits of Emilio Roccanera, Lord of Ventimiglia, who is on a quest for avenging the destruction of his family due to the traitorous acts of a duke who is now governor of Maracaibo. The plot is set in the golden age of piracy in the caribbean, where the Lord of Ventimiglia is now known as the fearsome Black Corsair. Famous and historical bucaneers, such as François l'Ollonais and Henry Morgan play an important role in the plot, which complicates when the black corsair falls in love with the (unkbenownst to him) daughter of his mortal enemy. Salgari wrote three sequels: Queen of the Caribbean, Yolanda Daughter of The Black Corsair and Son of the Red Corsair.
