Eugene Sue became as popular as Alexandre Dumas, one of the most famous writers of his time, at the publication of The Wandering Jew and The Mysteries of Paris; though often cited these two masterpieces are -due to their length?- seldom actually read nowadays. So, MS Books Publishing proudly brings you the short novel by Eugene Sue that holds a peculiar place in the history of popular culture. Kernok the Pirate is an adventure novel with several action scenes, often very deadly; however, this violence is not neutral and leads to real dramatic moments, mostly marked by black humor. The comical is on every page, either by the irony of narration or the truculence of characters and situations; all scenes are treated in an ironic way without ever sinking into parody.
