After growing tired of civilization, Basil Merton moves to the
island known as Shetland with his young son, Mordaunt. Much more
social than his father, Mordaunt is content reaching out to the
other few people residing in their community, and grows up
alongside the Troil daughters, Brenda and Minna. Peaceful and
absent of the typical issues of society, Mordaunt is happy on the
island, and content with his friends. But everything changes with
the arrival of Captain Cleveland. Shipwrecked with the rest of his
crew, Captain Cleveland has no choice but to stay on the island.
During his stay, he helps himself to whatever he likes, an attitude
shared by his crew. While the pirates disrupt the usually quiet
town, Captain Cleveland causes problems even closer to home for
Mordaunt. After falling in love with Minna, Captain Cleveland is
persistent in his advances, and is misleading about his lifestyle,
playing into Minna's ideas of heroics. Against her father's and
Mordaunt's advice, Minna reciprocates the captain's love, but the
pirate can only hide the truth for so long. Featuring forbidden
love, disturbances, and delightfully odd characters, The Pirate by
Sir Walter Scott is an enthralling tale of adventure and romance.
Written in an accessible style, The Pirate is a rare and vivid
depiction of the culture and landscape of Shetland, including the
portrayal of Captain Cleveland and his crew. With thorough
description and well-developed characters, Sir Walter Scott shares
a valuable and intriguing perspective on 17th century pirates,
enlightening modern readers while also thrilling them with the
adventurous narrative. This edition of The Pirate by Sir Walter
Scott now features an eye-catching new cover design and is printed
in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition of The Pirate crafts an accessible and
pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring
the original mastery of Sir Walter Scott's literature.
