Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini
This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentionalunintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.

HAPY READINGRafael Sabatini was born in Italy in 1875 to an English mother and an Italian father, both of whom were well-known opera singers. He created some of the world's most beloved heroes. He was educated in Portugal and Switzerland before moving to England at the age of seventeen, where he began writing after a brief spell in the business world. Despite being multilingual, he decided to write in English, arguing that all the best stories are published in [that language]. A collection of short tales inaugurated his writing career, which was followed by several novels. 'Scaramouche,' the much-loved narrative of the French Revolution, which became an worldwide bestseller, brought him fame.
Soon after, 'Captain Blood' was released, reigniting interest in his earlier works, which were rushed into reprint. He was a prolific writer for many years, but illness compelled him to stop writing in the 1940s, and he died in 1950. Sabatini is most known for his heroic protagonists and high-spirited novels, notably Scaramouche, Captain Blood, and The Sea Hawk, which have all been made into classic films. Drama, romance, and action, all set in historical settings, appeal to both male and female audiences.
'One wonders if there is another author so adroit at filling his pages with intrigue and counter-intrigue, with peril laced with romance, with a background of lush color, of silks and velvets, of swords and jewels,' as the 'Daily Telegraph' once put it.
