Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950), of Italian and English parentage, was a prolific and best-selling author. He wrote in English, his adopted language.

A masterpiece of historical fiction—and a ferociously gripping adventure tale.

One of the great unrecognized novels of the twentieth century, and as close as any modern writer has come to a prose epic.
