Jesi, a diminutive city of the Italian Marches, was the birthplace of
Rafael Sabatini, and here he spent his early youth. The city is
glamorous with those centuries the author makes live again in his
novels with all their violence and beauty.
Mr. Sabatini first went to school in Switzerland and from there to
Lycee of Oporto, Portugal, and like Joseph Conrad, he has never
attended an English school. But English is hardly an adopted language
for him, as he learned it from his mother, an English woman who
married the Maestro-Cavaliere Vincenzo Sabatini.
Today Rafael Sabatini is regarded as "The Alexandre Dumas of Modern
Fiction."
=MISTRESS WILDING=
A romance of the days of Monmouth's rebellion. The action is rapid,
its style is spirited, and its plot is convincing.
=FORTUNE'S FOOL=
All who enjoyed the lurid lights of the French Revolution with
Scaramouche, or the brilliant buccaneering days of Peter Blood, or the
adventures of the Sea-Hawk, the corsair, will now welcome with delight
a turn in Restoration London with the always masterful Col. Randall
Holles.
=BARDELYS THE MAGNIFICENT=
An absorbing story of love and adventure in France of the early
seventeenth century.
=THE SNARE=
It is a story in which fact and fiction are delightfully blended and
one that is entertaining in high degree from first to last.
=CAPTAIN BLOOD=
The story has glamor and beauty, and it is told with an easy
confidence. As for Blood himself, he is a superman, compounded of
sardonic humor, cold nerves, and hot temper. Both the story and the
man are masterpieces. A great figure, a great epoch, a great story.
=THE SEA-HAWK=
"The Sea-Hawk" is a book of fierce bright color and amazing adventure
through which stalks one of the truly great and masterful figures of
romance.
=SCARAMOUCHE=
Never will the reader forget the sardonic Scaramouche, who fights
equally well with tongue and rapier, who was "born with the gift of
laughter and a sense that the world was mad."
