Pirates

Fiction or non-fiction books involving pirates, those who engage in acts of robbery or criminal violence at sea. A sub-genre of the Maritime genre.

Piracy has existed from ancient times to the modern day, but much literature focuses on the "Golden Age of Piracy" from about the 1650s to the 1730s. Many of the common tropes in the pirate genre originate in "A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates" (1724) by Charles Johnson and "Treasure Island" (1883) by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I'm no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream.
