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.
