Scaramouche - Kiếm Sĩ Không Trái Tim

Captain Blood: His Odyssey (1922) by Rafael Sabatini is just possibly the novel that gave rise to the modern definition of a gentleman pirate. Peter Blood, an honest man of true character and a humane doctor, is wrongfully imprisoned for treason under the laws of King James, and deported from Britain to a tropical colony at Bridgetown where he is sold as a slave at auction. Soon he encounters romantic inspiration, conflict, injustice, and ultimately finds himself in charge of an armada of pirate ships of various flags and national alliances, becoming the famous and invincible Captain Blood, the most honorable and remarkable buccaneer throughout the South Seas. This classic romantic pirate tale has been immortalized in a dashing movie starring Errol Flynn.

1921. Illustrated with scenes from the photoplay a Rex Ingram-Metro production with Alice Terry, Ramon Novarro and Lewis Stone. After a brief stint in the business world, Sabatini went to work as a writer. He wrote short stories in the 1890s, and his first novel came out in 1902. It took Sabatini roughly a quarter of century of hard work before he attained success with Scaramouche in 1921. This brilliant novel of the French Revolution became an international bestseller. Scaramouche unfolds over the years leading up to the French Revolution. The main character, Andre Louis, has a grand flare for high adventure, and behind the story lies a great mystery as to Louis's parentage that keeps you guessing to the end.

Scaramouche a Romance of the French Revolution

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) es uno de los grandes clásicos de la novela de aventuras y, desde principios del siglo xx, uno de los más leídos. La publicación en años consecutivos de Scaramouche (1921) y Capitán Blood (1922), le situó en un lugar de privilegio que mantendría luego con títulos como El corsario negro, El halcón del mar y Bardelys el magnífico, muchos de ellos llevados a la gran pantalla.
