George Augustus Sala (1828 ù1895) was an English journalist. He began working as a scene painted and book illustrator. Charles Dickens published his work and later sent him to Russia as a special correspondent. Sala published many volumes of fiction, travels and essays, and he edited various other works, but he is best known for his journalism. The Strange Adventures of Captain Dangerous, Who was a sailor, a soldier, a merchant, a spy, a slave among the moors was published in 1863 in three volumes. This is volume 1. The narrative begins, ôI, JOHN DANGEROUS, a faithful subject of his Majesty King George, whose bread, God bless him! I have eaten, and whose battles I have fought, in my poor way, am now in my sixty-eighth year, and live in My Own House in Hanover Square. By virtue of several commissions, both English and foreign, I have a right to call myself Captain; and if any man say that I have no such right, he Lies, and deserves the Stab.ö
