Mompracem, 1849. A hurricane rages over the small fortress island that is home to the most feared pirate fleet in the South China Sea - and to Sandokan, the indomitable Tiger of Malaysia, who has spent ten years waging war against the Dutch and British empires that destroyed his kingdom and murdered his family.
He is fearless. He is undefeated. And he is about to make the most reckless decision of his life.
When Sandokan learns of Marianna Guillonk - the Pearl of Labuan, a young Englishwoman of extraordinary beauty living under British protection - he resolves, against the urgent warnings of his loyal friend Yanez de Gomera, to see her for himself. What begins as one dangerous expedition into enemy territory becomes a passion that threatens everything he has built: his fortress, his fleet, and the war he has sworn to win.
Naval battles, jungle pursuits, daring rescues, and a rebellion against colonial power collide with an impossible love in this classic of Italian adventure fiction. First serialized in 1883 and published in book form in 1900, The Tiger of Malaysia introduced the world to Sandokan - the hero who would make Emilio Salgari the best-selling adventure novelist in Italian history and inspire generations of readers, including a young Che Guevara, to dream of the high seas.
By Emilio Salgari. The adventure that began the legend of Sandokan.
