Beschreibung

Peter Blood, a physician and an English gentleman, becomes a pirate after suffering a grave injustice. Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels—who were fighting the oppressive King James—Blood is enslaved on a Barbados plantation. He escapes to Tortuga and becomes the leader of a colony of buccaneers. This is a classic swashbuckler filled with swordplay and adventure.

Über den Autor

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English author best known for his swashbuckling historical novels filled with adventure, romance, and intrigue. Born in Jesi, Italy, to an Italian father and an English mother-both opera singers-Sabatini was raised in a multilingual environment, becoming fluent in several languages. This diverse cultural background influenced his literary style, marked by a blend of English wit and Italian passion. Sabatini began his writing career in the late 19th century, initially producing short stories before gaining widespread recognition with his novels. His most famous works include Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), and The Sea-Hawk (1915), all of which were adapted into successful films. These novels are characterized by their vivid historical settings, complex characters, and fast-paced plots. Sabatini's works often explore themes of honor, loyalty, and the conflict between personal desires and larger societal forces. His protagonists are typically dashing, morally complex heroes who navigate turbulent political landscapes with a blend of cunning and courage. Despite his success, Sabatini lived a relatively private life, dedicating himself to writing until his death in 1950. His legacy endures as one of the great storytellers of historical fiction.
