Soon the rebel leader must go underground, disguising himself as "Scaramouche" in a traveling group of actors. In the midst of his swashbuckling adventures and his country's revolution, he discovers the secret of his own identity.

Honoré de Balzac uses his classic style of detail to describe a most controversial setting in his novel Le Pere Goriot. The story takes place in Paris just after the fall of Napoleon in 1819. The story focuses on three characters, Rastignac, a student who wants to try and make it big in the capital, Vautrin, an interesting and funny character who is also quite mysterious, and the main character, Goriot, that carries a heavy burden that only a loving parent would endure.

Doctor. Scholar. Soldier. Peter Blood has been all these. But when he is exiled and sold unjustly into slavery, he finds there is another title he must own - Pirate. Now a man without a country, he wreaks his revenge upon the Spanish Main as a buccaneer. The only thing that saves him from absolute dissolution is the love he still harbors for Miss Arabella Bishop. Now, he is forced to balance the dictates of his conscience with his natural genius for piracy.

Historia
Dr. Peter Blood is arrested and sentenced to hang for treating a wounded rebel. Instead of death, he is sent to Barbados as a slave. When the Spanish attack the port city of Bridgetown, he and his fellow slaves capture the Spanish ship and set out to sea, where he becomes the notorious pirate, Captain Blood. With battles on sea and on land, daring escapes, sword duels to the death, a touch of romance, and a magnificent score by Jeffrey Gage, Captain Blood is a swashbuckling adventure on a very grand scale!

Historia
A Tale of Two Cities is one of Charles Dickens's most exciting novels. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, it tells the story of a family threatened by the terrible events of the past. Doctor Manette was wrongly imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years without trial by the aristocratic authorities.

Liberty and Justice at the End of a Rapier Wit
Truly great historical literature often reflects the era it's written in as much as the era written about, and it typically resonates well into the future for the same reasons. In our modern world where civil liberties are dying one at a time and the power of the masses is called into question, this book will most definitely resonate. This is not my first venture into the world of Scaramouche, nor will it be my last. I mark this not only as one of my all-time favorites, but also as Sabatini's best in my humble opinion. The author's prose is spot-on in defending the morals of liberty, denouncing the over-privileged, and smirking into the face of opposition with a laugh and a wit as sharp as the sword of his hero. Eloquent, dangerous, and unrelenting, Scaramouche and his author are timeless in their righteousness. If you've not read this one, I can't recommend it enough.

Excellent Production Of A Classic Novel
Any additional comments?
I was curious about this novel having loved the 1950's MGM movie. This was the first Sabatini novel and found it very well written and entertaining. There was also a lot of great historical information about the start of the French Revolution mixed into the tale. Kind of a melodramatic ending was it's only fault but that is forgiven considering it's age. Simon Vance is a wonderful narrator and brings the story to life with fantastic french pronunciation which puts the ones in my head while reading to pathic shame. If you are a historical novel lover this is a classic and well worth putting on you listening list. And oh.....MGM changed the story a lot although the silent version was just on AMC and it did an excellent job of translating the story to film.

Brilliant at every level
Surprisingly contemporary and wonderfully written, Simon Vance's performance brings Sabatini's masterpiece to life. At once subtle, inventive, thrilling, and informative, it is a pure pleasure to experience.

Sabatini is the Master of Historical Romance
A timeless story, with timely morals. This classic remains as relevant today as when it was first published. Themes of equality, class, virtue, patriotism, loyalty, sacrifice, love and honor all play out in a compelling story that does not feel contrived. The book also inspired much-acclaimed classic films in the 1920's and 1950's, and it is puzzling that no one has bothered creating a modern adaptation. Goodness knows, there are ample correlations between the French Revolution and current events. We all have a sense that the world is mad.

Exceptional all the way
Loved it from beginning to end. And even though my suspicions were right; it was so beautifully played out nothing spoils.

A tale of revenge but with an unexpected ending
This was a fun story about a time., The French revolution, which is not well represented in historical fiction. The main character Andrea Lui Morrow six to get his revenge against A French marquis who has killed morals best friend. Miral one runs a vowel of the law and Hass to go into hiding in an acting troupe and later leaves the troop to pursue his part in the beginnings of the French revolution. He also becomes a fencing instructor during that time. I don’t want to reveal too much last I give out any spoilersA good read and well recommended

Overlooked
Gripping, but not through swordplay or swinging from chandeliers. The book is surprisingly emotional, and it’s the interpersonal relationships that keep you on edge. Also, in a deft handful of pages the author manages to do what even Dickens failed so miserably at, and that is to make the reader actually feel the cruelty and corruption of the First Estate, to convincingly convey the rot of the aristocracy, while at the same time letting the reader see the revolution through the eyes of a hero naturally skeptical that its replacement would be any less tyrannical.
It feels almost like a stereotype to call this book by a half-Italian author “passionate.” But that really does sum it up.
N.B. Yes be prepared to have that Queen song in your head the whole time.
