Book excerpt: These Straggling, Excited Groups Were Mainly Composed Of Men With Green Boughs In Their Hats And The Most Ludicrous Of Weapons In Their Hands. Some, It Is True, Shouldered Fowling Pieces, And Here And There A Sword Was Brandished; But More Of Them Were Armed With Clubs, And Most Of Them Trailed The Mammoth Pikes Fashioned Out Of Scythes, As Formidable To The Eye As They Were Clumsy To The Hand. There Were Weavers, Brewers, Carpenters, Smiths, Masons, Bricklayers, Cobblers, And Representatives Of Every Other Of The Trades Of Peace Among These Improvised Men Of War. Bridgewater, Like Taunton, Had Yielded So Generously Of Its Manhood To The Service Of The Bastard Duke That For Any To Abstain Whose Age And Strength Admitted Of His Bearing Arms Was To Brand Himself A Coward Or A Papist...FROM THE BOOKS.

Book excerpt: The protagonist is the sharp-witted Dr. Peter Blood, a fictional Irish physician who had had a wide-ranging career as a soldier and sailor (including a commission as a captain under the Dutch admiral De Ruyter) before settling down to practice medicine in the town of Bridgwater in Somerset. The story is told from the perspective of an omniscient narrator, who enables the reader to see the thoughts and views of many different characters. The narrator - perhaps meant to be Sabatini himself - claims to have acquired the story from the ship's logs of Blood's longtime companion Jeremy Pitt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Blood: His Odyssey is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922. Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is loosely based on fact. A group of Monmouth rebels was indeed condemned to ten years' hard labor in Barbados, though not chattel slavery as described in the book; and the shifting political alliances of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 are used in the novel as a plot device to allow Blood's return to respectability. Sabatini based the first part of the story of Blood on Henry Pitman, a surgeon who tended the wounded Monmouth rebels and was sentenced to death by Judge Jeffreys, but whose sentence was commuted to penal transportation to Barbados where he escaped and was captured by pirates. Unlike the fictional Blood, Pitman did not join them, and eventually made his way back to England where he wrote a popular account of his ordeal. For Blood's life as a buccaneer, Sabatini used several models, including Henry Morgan and the work of Alexandre Exquemelin, for historical details. Sabatini first introduced the character Captain Blood in a series of eight short stories in Premier Magazine as Tales of the Brethren of the Main, published from December 1920 to March 1921, and reprinted in Adventure Magazine from January to May 1921, with a novella "Captain Blood's Dilemma", published in Premier Magazine in April 1921 (and Adventure Magazine in October 1921). The Odyssey-like story arc of these tales was then woven by Sabatini into a continuous narrative in novel form, published as Captain Blood: His Odyssey in 1922. (wikipedia.org)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lead is the sharp-witted Dr. Peter Blood, a fictional Irish doctor who had had a wide-ranging profession as a soldier and sailor (including a function as a captain under the Dutch admiral De Ruyter) before plunging down to practice human medicine in the municipality of Bridgwater in Somerset. The book starts with him attending to his geraniums while the town arms to fight for the Duke of Monmouth. He desires no part in the rebellion, but while tending to some of the rebels injured at the Battle of Sedgemoor, he is imprisoned. During the Bloody Assizes, and convicted by the notorious Judge Jeffreys of treason on the grounds that "if any person be in actual rebellion against the King, and another person-who really and actually was not in rebellion-does knowingly receive, harbour, comfort, or succour him, such a person is as much a traitor as he who indeed bore arms." The punishment for treason is death by hanging, but King James II, for purely financial reasons, has the conviction for Blood and other sentenced rebels commuted to transportation to the Caribbean, where they are to be sold into slavery. On arrival on the island of Barbados, Blood is bought by Colonel Bishop, initially for labor in the Colonel's sugar plantations but later contracted out by Bishop when Blood's skills as a doctor prove superior to those of the local physicians. Through his period of slavery, Blood becomes friendly with Arabella Bishop, Colonel Bishop's niece, who becomes compassionate after learning his history. When a Spanish army attacks and raids the town of Bridgetown, Blood escapes with other convict-slaves, seizes the Spaniards' ship and sails away to become one of the most successful pirates of the Caribbean, despised and feared by the Spanish and English ships. The Colonel Bishop, humiliated by Blood's departure and by Blood himself, dedicates himself to capturing Blood with the goal of hanging him. After the Noble Revolution, Blood is pardoned. As a recompense for saving the possession of Jamaica from a French assault, he is named its governor in replacement of Colonel Bishop, who had deserted his post to hunt for Blood, and the novel ends with the indication that Blood will not only marry Colonel Bishop's niece Arabella but will also allow Bishop off easy.

Book excerpt: Captain Blood: His Odyssey is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini. Peter Blood, an Irish physician and soldier in England in the 1680's, is wrongly convicted of treason and sentenced to indentured slavery in the Caribbean. He escapes and becomes the most feared pirate captain on the Spanish Main, but all the glory of his adventures cannot help him, for the woman he loves cannot love a thief and pirate. Even when he destroys England's enemies, even at his most triumphant...but wait! What's that... Long Description: Peter Blood, an Irish physician and former soldier is happily settled, in the 1680's, as the doctor in an English town, when the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth catches him by accident. He saves a man's life, as a doctor must try to do, but the man is a rebel and the hanging Judge Jeffreys sentences him to ten years as an indentured slave in the Caribbean colonies. Once there, his knowledge as a physician is recognized, and thus he meets and falls in love with the daughter of the man who own his servitude; not likely to be a successful love story! A Spanish ship attacks the town, and while the Spaniards celebrate their victory he boldly steals their ship, and he and his fellow convicts sail off to become the boldest and most fearless of pirates among the islands and on the Spanish Main. But all the glory of his adventures cannot help him, for the woman he loves cannot love a thief and pirate. Even when he destroys England's enemies, even at his most triumphant...but wait! Is that... The classic novel of adventure and romance, and one of Sabatini's best.
