The Pirate City
A merchant and his two sons leave Sicily on a voyage and are taken captive by a pirate from Algiers. They are enthralled, and during their many exciting adventures, we dive into the life in the pirate city. There are a lot of historical facts in the book, along with some of the terrible ways of enforcing discipline which were used. Our main characters behave nobly, rise and fall in favor with the Deys (title of the king of Algiers), and eventually escape when all the slaves in Algiers were freed by the British.
