About the author

Born in Jesi, Italy, in 1875, Rafael Sabatini was the son of opera singers and grew up surrounded by several languages and European cultures. He later became an Italian-born British novelist celebrated for his romance and adventure fiction.

Sabatini wrote more than 30 novels, along with short-story collections, plays, and works of nonfiction. His best-known books include The Sea Hawk (1915), Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), and Bellarion the Fortunate (1926); many of his novels were adapted into films.

He died in Adelboden, Switzerland, in 1950. His enduring appeal comes from his vivid historical settings, fast-moving plots, and memorable heroes who face danger with courage, wit, and style.
