O knihe
Pellow and his ship-mates were bought by the tyrannical sultan of Morocco, who was constructing a vast imperial pleasure palace, built entirely by Christian slave labour. Being a resourceful, resilient and quick-thinking man, Thomas Pellow was selected to be a personal slave of the sultan, and was one of the fortunate few who survived to tell his tale.
White Gold is an extraordinary and shocking story. Drawn from unpublished letters and manuscripts written by slaves, and by the padres and ambassadors sent to free them, it reveals a disturbing and forgotten chapter of history, told with all the pace and verve of one of our finest historians.
`Giles Milton is a man who can take an event from history and make it come alive. I has a genius for lively prose, and an appreciation for historical credibility` The Times
`It`s almost impossible to summarise [Nathaniel`s Nutmeg}, from which marvellous vivid stories spill out like swagsack booty` Guardian
