Captain John Avery is a historical novel written by Edwin Jaquett Sellers and published in 1898. The book tells the story of John Avery, a pirate who lived in the late 17th century and is known for his infamous raid on the Indian treasure ship, the Ganj-i-Sawai. The novel follows Avery's life from his early days as a sailor to his rise as a pirate captain. It explores his motivations for turning to piracy and the challenges he faced while leading his crew on dangerous voyages across the seas. Through vivid descriptions and historical accuracy, the book provides a fascinating insight into the world of piracy during the Golden Age of Piracy. It also delves into the political and social climate of the time, including the conflicts between European powers and the East India Company's monopoly on trade. Overall, Captain John Avery is a thrilling adventure story that captures the spirit of the pirate era and offers a glimpse into the life of one of its most notorious figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
