Sobre IBD

Piratas de América, también traducida como Los bucaneros de América, es la crónica apasionante, narrada en primera persona, de un actor presencial de las aventuras de los piratas del siglo XVII.La obra se publicó en Ámsterdam en 1678, y la tradujo al español Alonso de Buena-Maison, amigo del autor, en 1681.Se consideraun relato verídico de las más destacadas actividades piráticas cometidas en la época en las costas de las Indias Occidentales por los Bucaneros o Filibusteros de Jamaica y la Tortuga.En 1666 Alexandre Exquemelin, el autor de Piratas de América, partió hacia América desde el puerto de El Havre. Zarpó en la nave San Juan, de la Compañía Francesa de las Indias Occidentales.El barco cayó en manos de los piratas y Exquemelin fue vendido como esclavo en la isla Tortuga. Durante su cautiverio aprendió de su amo el oficio de cirujano, y adoptó la Ley de la Costa, siendo pirata. Así sirvió a las órdenes de piratas tan insignes como François l’Olonnais, Morgan o Bertrand d’Oregon. Vivió victorias inconfesables hasta el fallido desembarco en la costa occidental de Puerto Rico, en 1674.Participó asimismo en asedios a las plazas de tierra firme:combatió en los dos asaltos a Maracaibo.Estuvo en las dos tomas de la isla de Santa Catalina y en la toma y desvastación de Panamá.
