Über den Autor
Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-born British writer best known for his historical adventure novels, especially Captain Blood, Scaramouche, and The Sea Hawk. Born in Jesi, Italy, to opera-singer parents, Sabatini grew up multilingual and lived in several European countries before settling in England. His command of languages, history, and dramatic storytelling helped him become one of the most popular authors of romantic historical fiction in the early twentieth century.Sabatini's fiction is marked by swordplay, political upheaval, exile, mistaken identity, rebellion, and protagonists who must reinvent themselves under pressure. He specialised in stories where honour and survival collide, often setting private loyalty against public corruption. Captain Blood, first published in 1922, became his most famous novel and was later adapted into the classic 1935 film starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. For readers of historical adventure, pirate fiction, swashbuckling romance, and classic sea stories, Sabatini remains one of the essential names in the field.
