Robert Surcouf
by Karl May
'Robert Surcouf' Summary
Die Geschichte folgt Robert Surcouf, einem wagemutigen französischen Kaper, während der Revolutionskriege. Als erfahrener Seemann führt er mit seiner Mannschaft zahlreiche erfolgreiche Überfälle auf britische Handelsschiffe aus. Mit List, Taktik und Mut gelingt es ihm, immer wieder reiche Beute zu erbeuten und den britischen Handel empfindlich zu treffen. Seine Abenteuer führen ihn durch stürmische Meere und in gefährliche Gefechte, wobei er sich sowohl mit den Launen des Wetters als auch mit den strategischen Fähigkeiten seiner Gegner auseinandersetzen muss. Karl May zeichnet ein spannendes Bild des Lebens auf See im 18. Jahrhundert und zeigt die menschlichen Abgründe und die heroischen Taten, die in diesem Kontext möglich sind. Die Geschichte beleuchtet die besonderen Herausforderungen, die die Kriegserfahrungen für die Seeleute und ihre Familien darstellten, und schildert eindringlich die moralischen Konflikte, die mit dem Kampf gegen die britische Seemacht einhergehen.Book Details
