Features: "Truth and Imagination" Imagination never equals truth; behind the truth are complex backgrounds and reasons. This series separates the truth from whimsical fantasies, restoring the fascinating lives exaggerated by novels and movies. From James Bond to Jesse James, from Robinson Crusoe to Al Capone, "Truth and Imagination" shows you a real world. Answers and more exciting content are in "Truth and Imagination: Pirates." Have you ever dreamed of being a pirate? Have you ever wondered what it's like to break free from a dull and ordinary life and run to the wilds filled with danger and constant excitement? The word "pirate" can evoke many romantic fantasies—fantastic thieves, smugglers, roadblock robbers; brave and fearless outlaws who rob the rich to help the poor; protectors of the oppressed; rebels who rise up against tyranny and are exiled and driven away. Think about it! This book lifts the veil and reveals the truth. You will find that pirates have various faces, and the real situation is far more complex than you imagine. You will also understand how writers and folklorists created those heroic pirates, and you can delve into the evil world of real pirates—oh, you'll be relieved that you've only dreamed of such a spooky place!
