Captain Kidd, E-bok
The execution of Captain William Kidd on 23 May 1701 is one of the most controversial and revealing episodes in the long history of piracy. The legend that has grown up around Kidd’s final voyage, his concealed treasure and the dubious conduct of his trial, has made him into one of the most intriguing and misunderstood figures from the golden age of piracy. For either Kidd was a legal privateer or he was a wicked pirate – indeed he has been described as one of the most feared pirates to sail the high seas. But his story is complex and ambiguous. This timely new account of Kidd’s life and seafaring career reassesses the man and his legend – it makes compelling reading.
Captain Singelton, E-bok
As a child, Bob Singleton was kidnapped from his respectable English family, and raised by traveling folk. Eventually, he ventures out to sea, where he is set to begin a life as a pirate. Daniel Defoe’s Captain Singleton [1720] is a classic adventure novel, likely inspired by the English pirate Henry Every, who lived during the latter part of the 17th century. In the first half of the novel, Singleton and his companions are stranded on Madagascar and then cross the African continent on foot. The second half takes place in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, with raids in the East Indies before Singleton eventually returns to England. DANIEL DEFOE [1660-1731] was one of England's most versatile and prolific authors ever: a poet, journalist, political writer, travel writer, and essayist on subjects such as history and economics, among others. He is most renowned for the novels Robinson Crusoe [1719] and - the most critically acclaimed - Moll Flanders [1722].
Captain Pamphile, E-bok
The Captain Pamphile of the title is one of Dumas’ most intriguing creations. An anti-hero, the Captain is a rogue and a swindler who decides to exploit the demand for exotic animals that was prevalent in the early 19th century. However, Pamphile’s methods are unconventional, to say the least. If you like your adventures on the high seas served up with betrayal, intrigue, mutiny, and a liberal dose of sardonic humour, then this is the book for you. A satirical tale with a twist, ‘Captain Pamphile’ is the perfect read for fans of seafaring adventures.Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’´ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.EPUB3: Reflowable

John Elton: Captain fantastic 1975 (Rem)
Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy var det sista i raden av mästerverk som Elton John spelade in mellan åren 1970-75. Detta album har allt. Bernie Taupins lek med orden i texterna, Eltons briljanta melodier, som kan växla från country till hård rock i samma låt. Endast en hitsingel hämtades från albumet: "Someone saved my life tonight". Här är Elton som allra bäst - albumet är en växare, totalt tidlöst. När man står på den allra översta toppen kan det vara lätt att förlora fotfästet. Det skedde med Elton efter detta albums utgivning. Han har aldrig blivit bättre än vad han var här.

The Hollow Crown
Award-winning cricket writer Mark Peel charts the development of the England captaincy - from the autocratic captains of the post-war years to the dual captaincy of the present, where power is shared between captain and coach. Peel examines the huge demands the England captaincy imposes on the occupant and why few leave office with their reputation enhanced. You'll learn about the long-lasting legacy of the Hutton captaincy of the mid-1950s, the downfall of mavericks such as Brian Close, Tony Greig and Mike Gatting, the success of the Illingworth and Brearley eras and the chaos of the 1980s, when captains came and went with regular abandon, and finally the glory years of Michael Vaughan and Andrew Strauss. The Hollow Crown contains individual portraits of the 43 England captains, exploring their background, philosophy, strengths, weaknesses and the legacy they left, with special attention given to the likes of Hutton, May, Illingworth, Brearley, Atherton, Hussain, Vaughan and Strauss.
