The First Adventure of Corentin Kemper

The next volume of the «Masters of Adventures» presents its readers with a true gem of an adventurous rogue novel — the mysterious and explosive «The First Adventure of Corentin Kemper». This quite original pirate odyssey, full of salty drive,... practical wisdom, and mischievous Breton humor, has come from the pen of the brilliant Paul Feval the Elder, the author of the famous «The Hunchback». The book also includes the writer's early maritime novellas, among which the «Seal Club» (1841) stands out — a story with motifs of «The Count of Monte Cristo», written long before Dumas' novel. All works are published in Russian for the first time.
