Notă biografică

Rafael Sabatini, a romance and adventure novelist was an Italian-born British author who lived from 29 April 1875 to 13 February 1950. The Sea Hawk (1915), Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), Bellarion the Fortunate (1922), and Captain Blood: His Odyssey are among his most well-known works (1926). Sabatini created a total of 34 novels, eight collections of short stories, six books of non-fiction, several uncollected short tales, and a number of plays. Rafael Sabatini was born in Iesi, Italy, to an English-speaking mother and an Italian father. His first book Scaramouche (1921) became an international bestseller. The Sea Hawk (1940) and Captain Blood (1924) were all made into films during the silent era. Rafael-Angelo (also known as Binkie), Sabatini's lone child, was killed in a vehicle accident on April 1st, 1927. Sabatini and his wife Ruth got divorced in 1931. Sabatini and his wife Ruth got divorced in 1931. Sabatini's fiction, which is typically set in the past, tackles political intrigue, religion, and the role of chivalry and honor while amusing readers with witty dialogue. This is understandable given that two of his most well-known writings were adapted into swashbuckling great movies.
