The Corsairs. Disappearance on the ice – vol. 17

Adventure

A series for adventure-seekers! Small in size, big on adventure!

An original series of adventure books curated by Pierdomenico Baccalario and written by Italy’s bestselling children’s authors. Incredible, epic stories, spanning all of history, and ranging around the world, bringing excitement, suspense and mystery, with a healthy dose of laughter!

In this book… There is a white world where you can walk on water. Where the only sound you hear is the earth breaking apart. Where fire does not warm and the air bites your face. At night, the frozen pack sings to the moon—even though the one in the sky doesn’t look like the moon at all. The sun, Finnán, you can’t even remember it. But you are here. You, and Abel, and all the sailors and officers of His Majesty’s ship. Do not worry, Madam: this is the Polar Winter. And after every Winter… comes the return.

  • A sophisticated editorial product with exquisite cover artwork, old-style maps, comparative chronological tables and short profiles of the historical figures mentioned.
  • A return to the tradition of Salgari’s adventure stories for children, in an appealing, contemporary style.
