Recenzii

"Glorious...I never enjoyed a novel more than Captain Blood." —Norman Mailer



"One of the great unrecognized novels of the twentieth century, and as close as any modern writer has come to a prose epic." —George MacDonald Fraser

Notă biografică

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English author best known for his swashbuckling historical novels filled with adventure, romance, and intrigue. Born in Jesi, Italy, to an Italian father and an English mother-both opera singers-Sabatini was raised in a multilingual environment, becoming fluent in several languages. This diverse cultural background influenced his literary style, marked by a blend of English wit and Italian passion. Sabatini began his writing career in the late 19th century, initially producing short stories before gaining widespread recognition with his novels. His most famous works include Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), and The Sea-Hawk (1915), all of which were adapted into successful films. These novels are characterized by their vivid historical settings, complex characters, and fast-paced plots. Sabatini's works often explore themes of honor, loyalty, and the conflict between personal desires and larger societal forces. His protagonists are typically dashing, morally complex heroes who navigate turbulent political landscapes with a blend of cunning and courage. Despite his success, Sabatini lived a relatively private life, dedicating himself to writing until his death in 1950. His legacy endures as one of the great storytellers of historical fiction.

Descriere

Peter Blood, a physician and English gentleman, turned pirate out of a rankling sense of injustice. Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels, Blood is enslaved on a Barbados plantation. When he escapes, no ship sailing the Spanish Main is safe from Blood and his men.
