The Corsairs. The Emeralds of Sumatra – vol. 16

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… A man has come from Singapore. He doesn’t know that diving into certain books means sinking so deep you may never resurface. It’s a secret between you and your father. A secret solid and strong, like a diver’s suit. Like what you’re about to do—when you go looking for him.

  • 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.
