The Corsair King: A Kaloz Kiraly is a historical novel written by Maurus Jokai and first published in 1901. The story is set in the 16th century and follows the adventures of a young Hungarian nobleman named Istvan Tamas, who becomes a pirate after being falsely accused of a crime and being forced to flee his homeland. As a pirate, Istvan becomes known as the ""Corsair King"" and leads a group of fellow outcasts on the high seas, attacking ships and amassing wealth.
