Description:

This is the 1955 first Turkish edition of Marie des Isles (Adaların Kızı) by Robert Gaillard, published by Türkiye Yayınevi. The original French work is part of Gaillard’s historical adventure series set in the French Caribbean during the 17th century. Bibliographic records identify Marie des Isles as the first work in the series, which was followed by Marie Galante and later Captain Le Fort titles.

The story is centered on Marie du Parquet, a remarkable woman connected with the early history of Martinique. Set against the turbulent world of the Caribbean colonies, the novel combines adventure, romance, colonial rivalry, piracy, and political conflict. Marie is portrayed as a strong and determined figure whose life becomes intertwined with the struggle to defend and establish the French presence in the islands.

The novel offers a romanticized historical portrait of the Caribbean during the 17th century, bringing together explorers, colonists, adventurers, pirates, and rival powers. The atmosphere of the French Antilles and the era of colonial expansion forms an important part of the story.

This copy is particularly attractive to collectors as a 1955 first Turkish edition, presented in hardcover with its original dust jacket.
