Sandokan finally in English!!!!!

I grew up in Mexico City reading Salgari's books and although I still keep my original books (translated to Spanish) I have always regretted that my children (raised in the US) can not read the stories in English. But now it's finally possible! I think that if an American audience had a chance to read Salgari's rich adventures, it would be hooked on it. Thank you for bringing Sandokan back to my life!

A new generation of Sandokan fans!

When I was a child there were two great adventure writers we held above all, Julio Verne and Emilio Salgari. Both men were prolific adventure writers and took us around the world with their stories, introducing us to the people and customs of far away lands in the process. I read Sandokan in Spanish when I was a child and it is still one of my favorite books. Salgari's books were always full of fast paced adventure and Sandokan The Tiger of Malyasia one of his most legendary heroes. When I learned the book had finally been translated into English, I bought it for my 9-year-old son; he loved it. He read it with a dictionary next to him for looking up "pirate" words he didn't know. Now he has lent the book to his cousin who doesn't like to read. She hasn't put it down for two days! These stories go back two generations in my family, and now they have been passed on to our children. Thanks for making Salgari's works available in English!

Finally -- Sandokan in English!

Emilio Salgari was one of the best adventure writers of the early 20th century, although he wrote only in Italian and never left Verona, the city of his birth. I (and most Italian children) grew up reading these swashbuckling adventure novels; most were about pirates as noble social rebels with their own code of honor, fighting the bad guys by land and by sea in the Caribbean, Malaysia and other exotic locales. Sandokan is no exception. He's the ultimate romantic hero: the son of a Raja deposed by the British, he has his own island, Mompracem, from which he struggles against evil colonizers for the cause of good. When I was a kid these books made me want to be a pirate! (Unfortunately the career possibilities were poor, so I became an anthropologist instead.) Salgari's books took countless Italian kids to the far corners of the earth with their exciting, action-filled drama; it's great to finally see one of them in English. More, please!

Sandokan, Sandokan...

It is funny how small events can make people do something weird!

I first heard the name Sandokan when I was less than ten years old. That time I had no idea what it was all about. Only years later I found the book Tigers of Mompracem translated in English. I bought it, I read it and I fell in love with it!

It is one of the best books I have ever read!

The Tigers of Mompracem are a band of rebel pirates fighting against the colonial power of the Dutch and British Empires. They are lead by Sandokan, the indomitable Tiger of Malaysia, and Yanez de Gomera, a Portuguese wanderer and adventurer. After twelve years of spilling blood and spreading terror throughout Malaysia, Sandokan has reached the height of his power, but when the pirate learns of the existence of the Pearl of Labuan, his fortunes begin to change...
