Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this captivating novel, the life of Simon Romero, famously known as Ali the Canary, unfolds as one of the most significant corsairs of the 17th century. Sailing the vast Mediterranean and Atlantic waters to the coasts of Portugal, Ali Romero's story is a tale of adventure, resilience, and transformation.Born in 1639 on Triana Street in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Simon's life took a dramatic turn at the age of 16. While fishing off the Barbary Coast of Africa, he was captured by an Algerian corsair. Displaying remarkable bravery and skill, Simon earned respect among the corsairs, eventually securing his freedom. Embracing his new life, he converted to Islam and adopted the name Ali Romero. With time, he built his own ship, aptly named the Canary, and rose to prominence.Ali's prowess earned him the trust of the Bey of Algiers, who appointed him as the leader of the Algerian corsairs and later as the Grand Admiral of the Algerian Navy. His diplomatic skills were recognized, leading to his role as the ambassador of Algiers to Turkey on two separate occasions. Throughout his journey, Ali maintained a special bond with the Canary Islander slaves in Algiers. He corresponded with the Bishop of the Canary Islands, Don Bartolome Garcia Ximenez de Rabadan, to address the plight of these slaves.This novel not only chronicles Ali the Canary's daring exploits and naval battles but also delves into his personal relationships and efforts to improve the lives of his fellow islanders.
