Rafael Sabatini

Anglijskij i italjanskij pisatel Rafael Sabatini izvesten svoimi prikljuchencheskimi romanami, v kotorykh dinamichnost i jarkost khudozhestvennogo obraza tesno perepletaetsja s realnym istoricheskim fonom. "Odisseja kapitana Blada" - odin iz samykh zakhvatyvajuschikh romanov o piratakh: na kazhdoj stranitse shumit prosolennyj morskoj veter, grokhochut pushki i zvenjat abordazhnye sabli. Vrach Piter Blad, irlandets po proiskhozhdeniju, imel neostorozhnost okazat meditsinskuju pomosch ranenomu uchastniku vosstanija gertsoga Monmuta protiv anglijskogo korolja Jakova II. Za svojo miloserdie Blad byl prichislen k mjatezhnikam i, chudom izbezhav smertnoj kazni, otpravlen na plantatsii na ostrov Barbados, gde popal v rabstvo k zhestokomu polkovniku Bishopu. Vrachebnoe iskusstvo Blada obespechivaet emu snosnye uslovija suschestvovanija, no dlja nego nevynosimo videt stradanija tovarischej po neschastju. Nakonets gorstka katorzhnikov reshaetsja na pobeg. Zakhvativ ispanskij korabl i perezhiv mnozhestvo prikljuchenij, begletsy okazyvajutsja na ostrove Tortuga, v tsitadeli Beregovogo bratstva. Otnyne zakhvachennyj fregat nosit imja krasavitsy Arabelly, plemjannitsy Bishopa, a Blad prevraschaetsja v samogo derzkogo, udachlivogo i pri etom blagorodnogo i otvazhnogo pirata v Karibskom more. Chem zhe zakonchitsja ego korsarskaja odisseja?.. Kniga proilljustrirovana originalnymi rabotami Olega Pakhomova.

Captain Blood: His Odyssey is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922. Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is loosely based on fact. "Captain Blood" is a classic for good reason. Sure, it's a challenge for 21st century readers to wade through the archaic language of a novel written nearly 100 years ago, but Sabatini's mastery of characters and story makes the labour more than worth it. Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels who were fighting the oppressive King James, Blood flees England and becomes enslaved on a Barbados plantation of buccaneers.

First published in 1922, "Captain Blood" is an entertaining tale of pirates by Rafael Sabatini, the Italian-English author of adventure and romance novels. "Captain Blood" tells the story of Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician who had traded his past life as a sailor and a soldier for a quiet life tending to his garden and patients in Somerset, England. Dr. Blood attends to the wounds of rebels injured in the Battle of Sedgemoor during the Monmouth Rebellion and is soon arrested for treason. While he did not actually participate in the rebellion and merely did what he felt he must, he is tried and convicted nonetheless. The sentence for treason is death, but King James II has the sentence commuted and instead sells Dr. Blood and his fellow rebels into slavery in the Caribbean. Dr. Blood continues to demonstrate his bravery and decency after he is bought by the cruel Colonel Bishop and takes advantage of a raid by Spanish forces to escape his new owner. Dr. Blood acquires a ship and quickly becomes the most successful pirate in the Caribbean, ultimately triumphing over his enemies and misfortune. "Captain Blood" remains a gripping and entertaining tale of pirates and high sea adventures. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
