The Black Corsair dreams of revenge against Van Guld - the cruel governor of Maracaibo, whose actions led to the death of the pirate's three brothers.

However, at first, the Black Corsair does not even suspect that he has won the heart of the daughter of his sworn enemy... "The Black Corsair" created a real sensation upon its release. The book has been adapted into films multiple times and is now considered a classic of adventure literature.
