The Adventures of Jack Ballister
The latest volume of "Masters of Adventure" is entirely dedicated to the amazing writer and artist, the creator of the classic pirate image in a bandana - Mr. Howard Pyle. This book includes two historical-adventure novels by this master of... pen and brush. The colonial and Atlantic "Adventures of Jack Ballister" are translated into Russian for the first time. This dramatic odyssey from the twilight of piracy in the 18th century features the famous sea cutthroat known as Blackbeard. The medieval legend "Otto Silver Hand" is presented in a new translation. This incredibly powerful and captivating story, a true gem of the genre, transports the reader to distant dark times of ruthless German knights and fierce baron-bandits.
