The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl
Set in the late 19th century, this thrilling adventure follows the exploits of two rival bookaneers—literary pirates who steal unpublished manuscripts from famous authors. As the era of book piracy draws to a close with the impending enforcement of international copyright laws, the story unfolds against the backdrop of Robert Louis Stevenson's final days in Samoa. The narrative weaves together themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the transformative power of literature, as the characters navigate treacherous alliances and moral dilemmas in their quest for literary treasures.
