«The King of Pirates» in English with a Parallel Translation

After the success of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe wrote another story about adventures at sea. The result is this less well-known work, which is a first-person description of a pirate life. In response to a letter accusing him of the worst possible behavior, Captain Avery writes back, trying to justify himself. He wants to tell about life of the captain of the pirate ship. And his letters show that he's just a romantic con artist.
