Rafael Sabatini (29 aprile 1875 – 13 febbraio 1950) nacque a Jesi, in Italia, da madre inglese (Anna Trafford) e padre italiano. I suoi genitori erano cantanti d'opera e insegnanti. Il suo unico figlio, Rafael-Angelo (soprannominato Binkie), morì in un incidente automobilistico il 1 aprile 1927. Nel 1931, lui e sua moglie Ruth divorziarono. Nello stesso anno si trasferì da Londra a Hay-on-Wye. Nel 1935 sposò la scultrice Christine Goad, sua ex cognata. La sua vita fu nuovamente contrassegnata dalla tragedia quando il figlio di Christine, Lancelot, venne a mancare in un drammatico incidente di volo. Sabatini impiegò circa un quarto di secolo di duro lavoro prima di raggiungere il successo nel 1921con “Scaramouche”. Il romanzo, ambientato durante la Rivoluzione francese, divenne un bestseller internazionale. Fu seguito dall'altrettanto riuscito Captain Blood (1922). Negli anni '40, la malattia costrinse lo scrittore a rallentare la sua prolifica attività letteraria. Morì il 13 febbraio 1950 in Svizzera, dove è sepolto.

Captain Blood. E-book. Formato EPUB Rafael Sabatini   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

First published in 1922, "Captain Blood"  is a classic novel of adventure and romance, and one of Italian-English writer Rafael Sabatini's best. Peter Blood, an Irish physician and soldier in England in the 1680's, is wrongly convicted of treason and sentenced to indentured slavery in the Caribbean. He escapes and becomes the most feared pirate captain on the Spanish Main, but all the glory of his adventures cannot help him, for the woman he loves cannot love a thief and pirate. Even when he destroys England's enemies, even at his most triumphant...A rollicking tale of piracy on a grand scale, accented with breath-taking maritime manoeuvres, near misses, and broadside hits, Sabatini’s fast-paced novel is alive with colour, romance, and excitement. A swashbuckling classic that brims with stolen treasure and adventure on the high seas, Captain Blood quickly became a best-seller soon after it was first published."Captain Blood" is also the first book of a world famous trilogy about Peter Blood's adventures.

Scaramouche. E-book. Formato EPUB Rafael Sabatini   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

First published in 1921, "Scaramouche" was Rafael Sabatini’s fourteenth novel and a runaway best-seller.Sabatini gives readers what they want: strong storylines, vivid characters and exotic settings. The plot is terrific and the pace fast and furious. Furthermore, Sabatini has done his research: the described adventures follow the course of the French Revolution as it moves ever closer to the Reign of Terror."Scaramouche" tells the story of a hero who once was André-Louis Moreau, a lawyer raised by nobility, unconcerned with the growing discontent among France’s lower class—until his friend was mercilessly struck down by a member of the aristocracy.Now he is Scaramouche. Speaking out against the unjust French government, he takes refuge with a nomadic band of actors and assumes the role of the clown Scaramouche—a comic figure with a very serious message...Set during the French Revolution, this novel of swashbuckling romance is also a thought-provoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individual’s role in society—a story that has become Rafael Sabatini’s enduring legacy.
