Waar gaat het over?

A voyage back to the seventeenth century and life on dangerous seas. In Tim Severin's first Pirate adventure, Corsair, Hector Lynch experiences slavery and warfare while searching for his sister. 1677. On a late-summer's evening, two ships lurk off the coast of south-west Ireland. Seventeen-year-old Hector Lynch wakes to the sound of a pistol shot as the Barbary corsairs raid his village, and he and his sister are snatched. Separated from each other, Hector is sold at auction in Algiers and thrown into a bewildering world where life is cheap and only the quick-witted survive. In North Africa, Hector befriends fellow captive Dan, a Miskito Indian from the Caribbean, and the two men convert to Islam to escape the horrors of the slave barracks - only to become victims of the deadly warfare of the Mediterranean. Serving aboard a Turkish ship, their vessel is sunk at sea and by a savage twist of fate they are chained to the oar bench of a French galley. Desperate to find his sister, Hector finally stumbles on the chilling truth of her destiny when he and Dan are shipwrecked off the coast of Morocco.
