À propos de cet audio
In a raging sandstorm, two men with their pregnant wives fatefully meet in the desert: Samir Al Fay, a Muslim doctor whose son will be named heir to the Prince of Beirut; and Isaiah Ben Ezra, a grizzled Jewish militant Zionist heading to the Promised Land. The women give birth - Samir's unconscious wife delivers a stillborn girl, Ben Ezra's wife dies delivering a healthy boy.
Transcending their differences, Ben Ezra gives his son to Samir. Only these two men know the truth of the boy's origin, and Samir vows to raise him as his true son - naming him Badyr. Years later, Badyr - now known as "The Pirate" - has become one of the wealthiest and most powerful Arabic entrepreneurs in the Middle East. Educated in the West, Badyr is more western than Arabic - but remains grounded in his perceived heritage and distrustful of Jews.
The Pirate is seemingly invincible, and with his looks, charm, and unending supply of money, no woman can resist him. But two women have power over his fate: one a long-lost love, another obsessed with the search for her missing father. However, it's not just Badyr's heart at risk. A web of political intrigue, corruption and terrorism threatens the business empire he worked to build, and he is drawn into a shadowy world of decadence, passion, and betrayal. Soon Badyr must decide whom he can trust, risking his life, family and fortune in that decision - and finds allies in the most unlikely of places, shocked by the reality he discovers.
From the author of The New York Times number one best-seller The Carpetbaggers comes a compelling tale of decadence, luxury, greed, and international intrigue set against a backdrop of Middle East oil and global terrorism. The Pirate was later adapted into the star-studded CBS miniseries featuring Anne Archer, Eli Wallach, Christopher Lee, Ian McShane, Armand Assante, and more.

Histoire
Born into a family of modest means and respectability, Danny Fisher was gradually driven downward into the world of crime, racketeering and poverty. His bitterness, his homesickness over the loss of the house in Brooklyn that was given to him for his eighth birthday, and his feud with his harsh father, pulled him one way; his natural decency and his love for a sweet Italian girl, Nellie Petito, pulled him another.

Classic Harold Robbins
I read this novel in 1975 , I was 14, As a child I read every book Robbins wrote in the 1960's and early 1970’s, now it’s 40 + years later I’ve listened to a lot of The Harold Robbins collection of books again .Other than The Carpetbaggers, his most famous book. They are included in Amazon subscription for free. I thought I would listen to this story 40 years later . First time I read it , like I said , I was a fourteen year boy, masturbating to the description of Anal Sex ,described in the book. Hey , No Internet , and Porn was not Free, like it is Today. He Writes The best sex into a story , but seriously, Harold Robbins was the most famous, and popular, author in the world in his prime. This book was on the New York Times Bestsellers list for over 25 weeks. Harold Robbins sold over 750 million books in his 25 years as an author.
