Scaramouche

Set during the French Revolution, this classic novel of swashbuckling adventure and sweeping romance is also a thoughtprovoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individual's role in society-a story that has become Rafael Sabatini's enduring legacy.

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950), of Italian and English parentage, was a prolific and best-selling author. He wrote in English, his adopted language. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From Publishers Weekly
Delightfully courtly, flowery but not dated, Sabatini's period romances--Scaramouche unfolds over the years leading up to the French Revolution--were deservedly popular when originally published, during the 20s and 30s.

All in all, this "sheer knight-errantcy" is a marvelous entertainment. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
