The Corsairs. The route of the Andes – vol. 7

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… It doesn’t matter how high those mountains rise. It doesn’t matter how old this airplane is. In the heart of an airmail pilot, only one thing counts: every letter must reach, on time, the person waiting for it. And if there happens to be a package too heavy to carry—one that goes by the name of Ricardo—it makes no difference. If it left with the Airmail, it will arrive with the Airmail. Whatever the cost.

  • 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.
