ocated along the northwest coast of
Borneo and facing the South China
Sea, Kota Kinabalu was already
famous at the end of the eighteen century
thanks to the work of a famous Italian
writer: Emilio Salgari (1862-1911). For
over a century, his novels were mandatory
reading for generations of youth eager for
exotic adventures. In Italy, his extensive
body of work was more widely read
than that of Dante Alighieri (the father
of modern Italian language). Today he is
still among the 40 most translated Italian
authors and 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 pop culture.During those years of exploration
and discovery Salgaribrought Malaysia, East Malaysia and the city that today is known as Sabah capital,
Kota Kinabalu, to the eyes of the Europeans first and the Americans later. His adventure books action
packed with Pirates, Corsairs, invaluable treasures, the British Empire, duels and naval battles inspired
many to leave and come over to discover the secrets of the Far East Pearl.
