Die echten Piraten der Karibik

Feb 18, 2025

Die Karibik im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert war das Reich der Piraten. Geschichten über berüchtigte Freibeuter wie Captain Morgan und Blackbeard prägen bis heute unseren Mythos. Das Leben an Bord war hart, und die Piraten entwickelten komplexe Gesellschaftsstrukturen. Samuel Bellamy, bekannt für seine altruistischen Ansichten, war ein Gegensatz zu Blackbeard. Mit Woods Rogers begannen die Briten, die Piraterie zu bekämpfen. Auch heute gibt es Piraterie, etwa vor Somalia oder Venezuela, doch das romantisierte Bild der Piraten bleibt lebendig.

Peter Pan

J. M. Barrie

Peter Pan, written by J.M. Barrie, is a whimsical and enchanting tale that explores the themes of youthful innocence, perpetual youth, and the reluctance to grow up. The story follows Peter Pan, a free-spirited and mischievous boy who lives in Neverland, a magical island inhabited by fairies, mermaids, Native Americans, and pirates. Peter Pan whisks away the Darling children—Wendy, John, and Michael—to Neverland, where they engage in various adventures. The narrative delves into the contrast between childhood and adulthood, with Peter Pan representing the eternal child and Captain Hook embodying the fears and responsibilities of adulthood. The book also touches on themes of motherhood, as seen through Wendy's role as a surrogate mother to the Lost Boys, and the psychological aspects of Peter's inability to age, which may be linked to his possible status as a symbol of children who died young[1][3][4].

Robert Louis Stevenson

A general history of the pyrates

Captain Charles Johnson

Published in 1724, this book contains biographies of contemporary pirates and has been highly influential in shaping the modern conception of pirates. It includes stories of famous pirates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny, and is known for its vivid and sometimes embellished accounts. The book was a commercial success, with multiple editions published between 1724 and 1726. It draws from interviews with living pirates, public and legal records, and offers historical context and social analysis of the pirate world[1][2][4].

Robinson Crusoe

Daniel Defoe

The novel follows Robinson Crusoe, a young and impulsive Englishman, who ignores his parents' advice and sets out to sea. After a series of misadventures, including being captured by pirates and sold into slavery, he is eventually shipwrecked on a deserted island near the coast of Venezuela. There, he spends 28 years surviving against incredible odds, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers. The story is influenced by real-life castaways such as Alexander Selkirk and blends elements of Puritan spiritual autobiography, travel literature, and adventure stories. It is considered one of the first modern novels in the English language and explores themes of ambition, self-reliance, civilization, and power.
