Пра гэту электронную кнігу

Bardelys the Magnificent is a 1906 historical adventure novel by the Italian-born British writer Rafael Sabatini. It is set in France during the reign of Louis XIII. In 1926 the story was adapted into a film version Bardelys the Magnificent by the Hollywood studio MGM, with John Gilbert playing the title role. It is is a first-person adventure told by a wealthy French nobleman of rakish, but honorable, character. Mistaken identity, romance with a beautiful woman, and delicious revenge serve, as they so often do in stories of this sort, to propel the reader happily through episodes of intrigue and derring-do. Implausible? Improbable? Of course. Engaging? Thrilling? Absolutely. (Goodreads)

Звесткі пра аўтара

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English author whose swashbuckling tales of adventure and romance captivated early 20th-century readers. Born in Jesi, Italy, to an English mother and Italian father, both opera singers, Sabatini's multicultural upbringing enriched his storytelling with a unique blend of European sensibilities. Fluent in six languages by his teenage years, he eventually settled in England, where he embarked on his prolific writing career.Sabatini's novels, characterized by their vivid historical settings and dashing protagonists, have left an indelible mark on the adventure genre. His most famous works include "Scaramouche" and "Captain Blood," both of which were adapted into successful films, further cementing his legacy. His stories often explored themes of justice, honor, and the individual's struggle against societal constraints, resonating with readers during the tumultuous interwar period.Despite his popularity, Sabatini's life was not without controversy. He faced criticism for his romanticized portrayal of historical events and figures, which some contemporaries felt glossed over the harsher realities of the past. Nevertheless, his meticulous research and engaging narrative style won him a dedicated readership.Sabatini's influence extends to contemporary writers like George MacDonald Fraser and Bernard Cornwell, who have cited him as an inspiration. His revolutionary idea of blending meticulous historical detail with high-stakes adventure paved the way for modern historical fiction. Today, Rafael Sabatini is remembered not just as a master storyteller but as a pioneer who brought history to life with unparalleled flair and imagination.
