Specialiste de l'histoire des voyages, Giles Milton aborde un chapitre meconnu des relations entre l'Europe et l'Afrique du Nord aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles: le cruel destin des Occidentaux captures en mer par les corsaires de Barbarie puis vendus comme esclaves sur les grands marches d'Alger, Tunis ou Sale. Pour se faire, Milton narre les incroyables aventures de Thomas Pellow qui a l'age de onze ans, en 1715, quitte sa Cornouailles natale afin de sillonner la Mediterranee comme mousse. Son navire investi, il devient l'esclave de Moulay Ismail, terrible souverain marocain, et doit se convertir a l'islam. Mais son ingeniosite attire l'attention du sultan, qui va lui confier la garde de son harem ainsi que des missions militaires. Plus de vingt ans apres sa capture, Pellow parviendra a s'evader et sera l'un des rares esclaves europeens survivants a pouvoir raconter son. Please note this book is in French. There are some slight signs of shelfwear to the edges of the book.
