Rafael Sabatini

[The waveguide]

Something in the Alexandre Dumas thread deeply reminded me of other books that I liked as a kid.

Rafael Sabatini (the author of "Captain Blood") is another such romantic writer, whose books I enjoyed back then, along with Dumas' romances...

I believe that whoever liked Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo", " The Three Musketeers" and so on, would like Rafael Sabatini's books. He also wrote historical-type of romances, with pirates and gold, heroic young men and their adventures.

It's nice to see someone else that enjoys Rafael Sabatini. I read Scaramouche a few weeks ago and loved it. The Sea-Hawk is my favorite and I've also read Captain Blood and The Black Swan.

It was actually my interest in Dumas that drove me to read Rafael Sabatini, and I have to admit that, although I prefer Dumas for all his historical information and political intrigues, I still very much love Sabatini. Captain Blood is definately one of my favorites, and I also love the movie adaptation.

I saw Capt Blood with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. I though it was fine just so long as it wasn't compared with the book.
