'''Emilio Salgari''' ({{IPA|it|eˈmiːljo salˈɡaːri}}<small>, but often erroneously</small> {{IPA|it|ˈsalɡari|pron}}; 21 August 1862 – 25 April 1911) was an [[Italians|Italian]] writer of [[Action_fiction#Genre_fiction|action adventure]] [[swashbuckler]]s and a pioneer of [[science fiction]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lOijDwAAQBAJ|title=Simone Brioni and Daniele Comberiati, Italian Science Fiction: The Other in Literature and Film.

In Italy, his extensive body of work was more widely read than that of [[Dante Alighieri]]. In the 21st century, he is still among the 40 most translated Italian authors. Many of his most popular novels have been adapted as comics, animated series and feature films. He is considered the father of Italian [[adventure fiction]] and Italian [[popular culture|pop culture]], and the "grandfather" of the [[Spaghetti Western]].<ref>Giovanni Arpino, ''Emilio Salgari, il padre degli eroi,'' Mondadori 1991</ref>

==Life==
[[File:IdaPeruzzi.jpg|thumb|Ida Peruzzi, wife of Salgari]]
Emilio Salgari was born in [[Verona]] to a family of modest merchants. From a young age, he had the desire to explore the seas and studied seamanship at a nautical technical institution in [[Venice]], but his academic performance was too poor, and he never graduated.

He began his writing career as a reporter for the daily ''La Nuova Arena,'' which published some of his work as serials.  As his powers of narration grew, so did his reputation for having lived a life of adventure. He claimed to have explored the [[Sudan]] desert, met [[Buffalo Bill]] in Nebraska (he had actually met him during his "Wild West Show" tour of Italy), and sailed the [[seven seas|Seven Seas]]. His early biographies were filled with adventurous tales set in the [[Far East]], events which he claimed were the basis for much of his work. Salgari had actually never ventured farther than the [[Adriatic Sea]].

He turned his passion for exploration and discovery to writing. His first stories were serialized in newspapers. Early in his career, he began signing his tales as "Captain Salgari", a title he once defended in a duel when his claim to it was questioned.

Though knighted by the Queen of Italy and wildly popular, Salgari did not earn much money from his books and lived hand to mouth for most of his life.

Salgari married Ida Peruzzi – nicknamed "[[Aida]]," with whom he was very happy for years.<ref name=troiano /> The couple had four children.  Salgari's private life was clouded by several tragedies. In 1889 his father committed [[suicide]].<ref name=troiano /> Ida became ill after 1903 and Salgari's struggling increased with her medical bills.

These events led Salgari to [[Depression (mood)|depression]], and he attempted suicide in 1910. After Ida was committed to a mental ward in 1911, Salgari was overwhelmed and took his own life soon afterwards, imitating the Japanese ritual of ''[[seppuku]]'', and died on 25 April 1911.<ref name=troiano>{{cite web |url=http://www.italica.rai.it/eng/principal/topics/bio/salgari.htm |author=Francesco Troiano |title=Biography of Emilio Salgari |publisher=Italica Rai |access-date=23 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080609111653/http://www.italica.rai.it/eng/principal/topics/bio/salgari.htm |archive-date=9 June 2008 }}</ref> He left three letters, addressed to his and Ida's children, his publisher, and the editors of his newspaper in [[Turin]]. The letter to his publisher said:

{{cquote|To you that have grown rich from the sweat of my brow while keeping myself and my family in misery, I ask only that from those profits you find the funds to pay for my funeral. I salute you while I break my pen. Emilio Salgari.<ref name=troiano />}}

Two of the sons of Emilio and Aida also committed suicide, Romero in 1933<ref name="troiano" /> and Omar, a adventure writer himself, in 1963.<ref>{{cite news|access-date=24 July 2012 |date=6 November 1963 |periodical=La Stampa |title=Omar, figlio dello scrittore Salgari si è ucciso gettandosi dal balcone |url=http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,0002/articleid,0020_01_1963_0263_0002_24819483/}}<!-- auto-translated from Italian by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> His daughter Fatima died of tuberculosis in 1914, while his remaining son Nadir died in a motorcycle accident in 1936.

==Writing career==
Salgari wrote more than 200 adventure stories and novels, setting his tales in exotic locations, with heroes from a wide variety of cultures.  He gained inspiration from reading foreign literature and newspapers, travel magazines and encyclopedias, which he used to portray his heroes' worlds. He wrote four major series: ''The Pirates of Malaysia''; ''The Black Corsair Saga''; ''The Pirates of Bermuda''; and a collection of adventures set in the Old West. Salgari's heroes were mostly pirates, outlaws and barbarians, fighting against greed, abuse of power, and corruption.

His most famous heroes [[Sandokan]], The Tiger of Malaysia, a Bornean prince turned pirate, and his loyal lieutenant Yanez of Gomera, led their men in attacks against the [[Dutch Navy|Dutch]] and [[Royal Navy|British fleets]]. They declared war on [[James Brooke]], the White Rajah of Sarawak, and tried to force him from his throne. The Black Corsair and [[Henry Morgan|Captain Morgan]] maintained a [[Chivalry|chivalric]] code in the Caribbean, while Salgari's pirates of Bermuda fought for [[American Revolutionary War|American independence]].

His tales had been so popular that soon his publisher hired other writers to develop adventure stories under his name.  They added 50 novels to his “canon”. Salgari's style was imitated by many, but no other Italian adventure writer managed to duplicate his popular success.

He also published numerous minor works, among which ''Il Brick Maledetto'' (Milano, Sonzogno, 1936) published posthumously.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Il_brick_maledetto_1.png]

==Legacy==

Salgari's work was imitated in one form or another by many who came after him. A large part of the Italian adventure literature is a continuation of Salgari's work. Many late 19th century writers such as Luigi Motta and Emilio Fancelli wrote further ''Sandokan'' adventures imitating Salgari's style: fast-paced, filled with great battles, blood, violence and punctuated with humour.

The style soon spread to films and television. One example is the work of the director [[Sergio Leone]], whose outlaw heroes in his [[Spaghetti Western]]s were inspired by Salgari's piratical adventurers. More than 50 film adaptations have been made of Salgari's novels, and many more were inspired by his work (corsair stories, jungle adventure stories, and swashbuckling B movies, such as ''[[Morgan the Pirate (film)|Morgan, the Pirate]]'', starring [[Steve Reeves]]).

[[Federico Fellini]] loved Salgari's books. [[Pietro Mascagni]] had over 50 Salgari titles in his library. [[Umberto Eco]] read Salgari's works as a child.

His work was very popular in Portugal, Spain and Spanish-speaking countries, where Latin American writers such as [[Gabriel García Márquez]], [[Isabel Allende]], [[Carlos Fuentes]], [[Jorge Luis Borges]] and [[Pablo Neruda]], all attested to reading him when young. [[Che Guevara]] read 62 of his books, according to his biographer [[Paco Ignacio Taibo II]], who remarked that the revolutionary's [[anti-imperialism]] could be seen to be "Salgarian in origin".

Though popular with the masses, Salgari was shunned by critics throughout his life and for most of the 20th century. It was not until the late 1990s that his writings began to be revisited, and new translations appeared in print. They have been newly appreciated for their characterization and plots.  In 2001 the first National Salgari Association was founded in Italy to celebrate his work.<ref name=troiano />

==Films==

Historians debate the first film adaptation of a Salgari novel. ''[[Cabiria]]'', directed by Giovanni Pastrone bears many similarities to Emilio Salgari's 1908 adventure novel ''Cartagine in Fiamme'' (Carthage is Burning). Salgari was never credited, and [[Gabriele D'Annunzio]] was billed as the official screenwriter. D'Annunzio had been brought on board to help revise the film once it had been shot, earning the credit by changing the title to ''Cabiria,'' changing the name of some of the characters, and rewriting the captions from what Pastrone had done. The three-hour epic movie with its cast of thousands created a sensation throughout Italy. It pioneered epic screen production and foreshadowed the work of [[D.W. Griffith]], [[Sergei Eisenstein]] and others.

Vitale De Stefano brought Salgari's pirates to the big screen in the early 1920s with a series of five films shot over two years, including ''Il corsaro nero'' [[The Black Corsair]] and ''La Regina dei caraibi'' (The Queen of the Caribbean). [[Lex Barker]] appeared as the tiger hunter Tremal-Naik in the 1955 B-movie ''The Mystery of The Black Jungle''. Sandokan was played by Hercules star [[Steve Reeves]] in ''[[Sandokan the Great (film)|Sandokan the Great]]'' and ''The [[Pirates of Malaysia]] aka The Pirates of The Seven Seas''. [[Ray Danton]] played the pirate in Luigi Capuano's ''Sandokan Against the Leopard of Sarawak'' (aka ''Throne of Vengeance''.) and later reprised the role in ''Sandokan Fights Back'' (aka ''The Conqueror and the Empress'').

The 1944 Mexican film ''[[El corsario negro]]'' is based on his novel ''[[The Black Corsair]]''.

The 1965 adventure film ''La montagna di luce'' (''The Mountain of Light'') was loosely based on Salgari's 1902 novel of the same title, which referred to the name of the [[Koh-i-Noor]] diamond. The film was released in English under several titles, the most commonly known of which was ''[[Jungle Adventurer]]''. One of the alternate titles used for a later re-release was ''Sandok'', an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Salgari's fictional pirate [[Sandokan]], even though neither the novel, nor the film had anything to do with Sandokan's character or the settings of his adventures (the plot revolved around a fictitious attempt to steal the Koh-i-Noor, and took place in 19th-century [[India]]).

In 1976, the landmark [[Sandokan (TV series)|''Sandokan'' TV miniseries]] played throughout Europe. It starred [[Kabir Bedi]] in the title role and attracted more than 80 million viewers a week. Bedi has been considered the quintessential [[Sandokan]] ever since. He later reprised the role in the late 1990s in a series of sequels.
