Рафаэль Сабатини родился в Италии, но в ранней юности переехал в Англию, где ему и предстояло сначала снискать себе известность в качестве журналиста, а потом стать одним из величайших авторов историко-приключенческих романов за всю историю мировой литературы. Особую популярность ему принесла легендарная серия книг о капитане Бладе, до сих пор любимая читателями и положенная в основу полутора десятков знаменитых фильмов. В книгу вошли первые два романа серии "Одиссея капитана Блада" и "Хроника капитана Блада".

Sozdannyj Sabatini obraz pirata Pitera Blada byl nadelen vsemi kachestvami supergeroja. On vysok, khudoschav, silen i lovok, obladaet zhivym umom, izobretatelnostju i bogatym voobrazheniem.

Ona zhila pod Liverpulem i neskolko let opekala maloletnego vnuka, poka ego roditeli davali kontsert v Evrope. Kogda Rafael poseschal katolicheskuju shkolu v Portu, gde ego otets i mat otkryli shkolu penija, on obuchilsja takzhe portugalskomu. Pozdnee on osvoil frantsuzskij i nemetskij - semja podolgu zhila za granitsej. I vse zhe, kogda v 1904 godu vyshla pervaja kniga Rafaelja, on reshil polnostju posvjatit sebja literature.

Rafael Sabatini (1875 - 1950) was an Italian/British writer of novels of romance and adventure. At a young age, Rafael was exposed to many languages. By the time he was seventeen, he was the master of five languages. He quickly added a sixth language - English - to his linguistic collection. He wrote short stories in the 1890s, and his first novel came out in 1902. Sabatini was a prolific writer; he produced a new book approximately every year. He consciously chose to write in his adopted language, because, he said, "all the best stories are written in English. " In all, he produced thirty-one novels, eight short story collections, six nonfiction books, numerous uncollected short stories, and a play. He is best known for his world-wide bestsellers: The Sea Hawk (1915), Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922) and Bellarion the Fortunate (1926). Other famous works by Sabatini are The Lion's Skin (1911), The Strolling Saint (1913) and The Snare (1917).
