風(fēng)度翩翩的西拉船長與他關(guān)系密切的船員往來于加勒比海:侯爵，一個前奴隸，戴著粉末狀假發(fā);聰明的、面容粗糙的荷蘭人;身材魁梧、蓄著胡子的勒努瓦;大副奧利維耶，生性憂郁，被認(rèn)為會帶來厄運。這可能是因為他把時間都花在寫日志上了，收件人是一個虛構(gòu)的英國“準(zhǔn)將”，他有一天會抓住他們。但也許他是其中唯一一個頭腦清醒的人:帝國海軍的不幸棄兒，這些海盜的自由和博愛的日子屈指可數(shù)，因為法律、秩序和資本的力量正在壓制他們。風(fēng)度翩翩的西拉船長與他關(guān)系密切的船員往來于加勒比海:侯爵，一個前奴隸，戴著粉末狀假發(fā);聰明的、面容粗糙的荷蘭人;身材魁梧、蓄著胡子的勒努瓦;大副奧利維耶，生性憂郁，被認(rèn)為會帶來厄運。這可能是因為他把時間都花在寫日志上了，收件人是一個虛構(gòu)的英國“準(zhǔn)將”，他有一天會抓住他們。但也許他是其中唯一一個頭腦清醒的人:帝國海軍的不幸棄兒，這些海盜的自由和博愛的日子屈指可數(shù)，因為法律、秩序和資本的力量正在壓制他們。
The dashing Captain Sylla plies the Caribbean with his close-knit crew: The Marquis, a former slave who sports a powdered periwig; the clever, craggy-faced Dutch; the burly, bearded Lenoir; and first mate Olivier, given to gloom and considered a bringer of bad luck. This is likely because he spends his time composing log entries addressed to a fictive British "Commodore" who will someday capture them. But perhaps he is the only clear-eyed one among them: luckless outcasts of imperial navies, these pirates' days of freedom and fraternity are numbered, as the forces of law, order, and capital bear down on them.
