You Know You Love Me

This book sets out to discover the truth behind the stereotypical image of the pirate. Examining the rich literary and cultural legacy of piratical icons from Blackbeard to Captain Hook, the author compares the legends with their historical counterparts and comes up with some surprising conclusions. In a wider overview of the piracy myth, he explores its enduring and extraordinary appeal and as*sesses the reality behind the romance, answering in the process questions such as: why did men become pirates? Were there any women pirates? How much money did they make from their plundering and looting? What effect did their activities have on trade in the Caribbean and elsewhere? And were pirates really dashing highwaymen of the seven seas or just vicious cutthroats and robbers? From Long John Silver to Henry Morgan, Robert Louis Stevenson to J.M. Barrie, this book examines all the heavyweights of history and literature and presents a survey of this phenomenon.

For Your Eyes Only, Vol. 1

They’re here for a higher education…
and you won’t believe how far they’ll go. Dexter College is a small liberal arts college in the quiet town of Home, Maine. But it won’t stay quiet for long with this group of freshmen. There’s Shipley blonde and beautiful, the object of envy and more than a little lust. Determined to assert herself and to shed her good girl image, she buys cigarettes and condoms, because that’s what every self respecting college girl does. Her edgy roommate, Eliza, came to Dexter to get noticed, and she has the attitude and the mouth to prove it. Then there’s Tom. Handsome, privileged, used to getting his own way, he’s a jock turned artist who thinks his paintings will change the world. Sensitive Nick, Tom’s wake and bake pot smoking roommate, wants to follow in the footsteps of his boarding school hero. And then there are brother and sister Adam and Tragedy Gatz. The freckle faced farm boy lives at home with his parents and his little sister, who does all she can to stop him from being a wuss. As Shipley, Eliza, Tom, Nick, and Adam find out, that first year of college is more than credits and cramming. Between the lust and the love, the secrecy and the scandal, they’ll all receive an unexpected education. It’s a time of shifting alliances, unrequited crushes, and coming of age. Find Yourself is Dexter’s motto. And they are determined to do just that. Praise for the Gossip Girl series ‘Von Ziegesar pulls off the tour de force of wickedly satirizing the young while amusing them. Her designated reader is an adolescent girl, but the reader she seems to have firmly in mind as she writes is a literate, even literary, adult.’ The New Yorker ‘Beneath its stylized surfaces the series is surprisingly sophisticated. Von Ziegesar takes seriously the inner lives of her characters.’ New York
