The Treasure of Pearls: A Romance of Adventures in California by Gustave Aimard

Description

Aimard had seen the frontier he wrote about, and his Californian coast has the ring of a man who knew what the Pacific breakers did to a boat. Into this world he drops a bold young American, the beauty he loves, and the insinuating villain who would have both the girl and the pearl bed, producing a proper contest of courage and ingenuity against the sea itself.

The book moves from wreck to raid to treasure-dive with an energy that has kept Aimard’s adventure fiction alive for readers ever since, and it remains one of the most purely enjoyable of his romances.

Why readers still come back to it

• Pearl-diving, shipwreck, and romance on the old California coast.
• From the great French writer of frontier adventure.
• A cleanly paced tale of treasure, love, and danger.
