Description: Devil's Anarchy : The Sea Robberies of the Most Famous Pirate Claes G. Compaen and the Very Remarkable Travels of Jan Erasmus Reyning, Buccaneer, Paperback by Snelders, Stephen, ISBN 1570272948, ISBN-13 9781570272943, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK By rebelling against hierarchical society and living under the Jolly Roger, pirates created an upside-down world of anarchist organization and festival, with violence and death ever-present. This creation was not a purely whimsical process. In The Devil's Anarchy, Stephen Snelders examines rare seventeenth century Dutch pirate histories to show the continuity of a shared pirate culture, embodied in its modes of organization, methods of distributing booty and resolving disputes, and tendencies for high living. Focusing on the careers of Claes Compaen, a cunning, charismatic renegado who claimed to have stolen more than 350 vessels, and Jan Erasmus Reyning, who hit the seas at age twelve and became a buccaneer in the pirate jungles of Santo Domingo, Snelders paints a salty picture of the excesses, contradictions, and liberatory joys of pirate life. Now in its second edition, featuring a new introduction!
