La storia immensamente leggibile dell'autore di Robinson Crusoe incorpora il celebre talento dell'autore per i dettagli giornalistici e rappresenta la principale fonte di informazioni sulla pirateria all'inizio del XVIII secolo. Defoe racconta le gesta audaci e sanguinose di fuorilegge come Edward Teach (alias Barbanera), Capitan Kidd, Mary Read, Anne Bonny e molti altri.
