Summary "Count Luckner, the Sea Devil" by Lowell Thomas is an adventurous autobiography written in the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles the life of Count Felix von Luckner, a German naval officer who gained fame as a privateer during World War I. The text explores his daring exploits at sea aboard the raider "Seeadler", as well as his fascinating life experiences leading up to his command of the ship. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Count Luckner through the eyes of Lowell Thomas, who first encounters him at a flying field in Central Europe. Luckner's robust and charismatic personality is emphasized, leading Thomas to inquire about the "Sea Devil." Through dialogues and descriptions, we learn that Luckner commanded a sailing vessel that successfully disrupted Allied shipping without violence, earning him a heroic stature among the youth of Germany. The introduction sets the stage for a compelling recounting of Luckner's adventurous life, hinting at his colorful past and extensive travels across the seas, which promise to unfold in thrilling and romantic detail.
