A blog that holds as distinctive as can be seen in its header, and very clearly, in black and white, could not fail to pay tribute to the creator of Il Corsaro Nero . Today, April 25, 2011, marks the 100th anniversary of the death by suicide of the writer of more junior novel read in Italy and Spain. Salgari

One of the most popular and prominent fans was Ernesto Guevara. Still in the busiest time of the restless Argentine doctor, when it got shot with a thick book in his hands and whose cover read "Goethe", you can venture to Salgari was acting in his mind with much more liveliness and enjoyment than any other writer. Not only found in the author's adventure novels Verona the much discussed quality "imperialism" of his characters (though in reality both Sandokan as Black Corsair deVentimiglia -Emilio, were aristocrats and very "popular"), but above all detailed account of the war guerrillas and the type of life that carries with it, showing the alloy required to have by their representatives, along with all its subtleties fighting and survival skills in the jungle and in hostile territory.
Salgari symbolizes today also, reluctantly, the murkiness of the best-seller writer. He also disgusted by the forced labor of the pen and that he suffered abuse by their malicious publishers, added his name to the list of writers suicide. In his suicide note could read:
"My editors: For you who have enriched my skin, keeping me and my family in a continuous semimiseria or worse, I ask only in return for the profits that you have provided, I ocupéis of my funeral expenses. I greet breaking the pen. Emilio Salgari "

According to my latest news, good old Emilio continues his new career spectrum, the service of all writers exploited by greedy or ungrateful editors. The Phantom of the creator of the Malaysian Tigers still appears today to those publishers, ruffling his hair and gnashing their teeth of terror. Serve this as a lesson and warning.
