Pierdomenico Baccalario

The Corsairs. The return of the Tsar – vol. 4

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, you have to escort a young man you don’t know, without asking questions. He says he is a prince, yet he walks with the weight of the peasants. He breathes in the horizon as if it were forbidden to him. And he dreams of a great train, one that could unite what has been with what is yet to come. Ask him, when you’re alone.

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.
