«The Pyrates» is the adventure and humour novel by George MacDonald Fraser, published by HarperCollins in paperback (416 pages, in English).
A young officer, Captain Avery, is tasked with carrying the Crown of Madagascar from London to its destination across a sea populated by buccaneers. The narrative blends action, duels, romance and treasure with a light-hearted humour that parodies the conventions of the swashbuckling novel.
The work was originally published in 1983; this HarperCollins paperback edition came out in 1995.
For readers of pirate novels who appreciate the humour and style of the creator of Flashman.
