by Rafael Sabatini (Author)
'Captain Blood' is one of the great adventure novels of the 20th century. Norman Mailer wrote of it; 'Glorious... I have never enjoyed a novel more than Captain Blood'.
During the turbulent reign of James II, Peter Blood, gentleman surgeon and former soldier barely escapes the gallows after his arrest for treating a wounded 'Monmouth' rebel.
He is unfairly sentenced to ten years indentured slavery on a Barbados plantation by the notorious 'Hanging Judge' Judge Jeffreys. Blood escapes his captivity and then embarks on a career as a pirate before clearing his name and returning to England to be reunited with the love of his life, Arabella Bishop.
A rollicking tale of piracy on a grand scale, this is the classic novel of maritime adventure and romance.
Sabatini dramatically brings the past to life with great accuracy and his swashbuckling tale bristles with excitement as we follow the high seas adventures of his honourable hero, Captain Blood.
The book was the basis for the Hollywood film version starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland.
