Rafael Sabatini penned the historical novel Bellarion the Fortunate. The story opens with Bellarion, a young man who was abandoned as a child and educated in an abbey, leaving with a letter of introduction from the revered abbot and plans to attend Pavia University. He meets and travels with a Franciscan friar but learns that his money and letter have been stolen. As he arrives at Casale, the state's capital, he discovers that he is being sought by the authorities. He runs away till he arrives at a palace, where he enters via a garden entrance that, to his surprise, is unlocked. A stunning woman welcomes him inside, locks the door, and makes an effort to hide him from his assailants. Later, the plot follows Bellarion's career as he grows to be Facino Cane's loyal and true son and, after Facino's death, pledges loyalty to his widow. The story takes several unexpected turns as Bellarion rises through the ranks to become a significant mercenary captain.
Autorenporträt
Rafael Sabatini (29 April 1875 - 13 February 1950) was an Italian-English writer of romance and adventure novels. He is best known for his worldwide bestsellers: The Sea Hawk (1915), Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), and Bellarion the Fortunate (1926). Sabatini produced 34 novels, eight short story collections, six non-fiction books, numerous uncollected short stories, and several plays.Sabatini was born in Iesi, Italy. Both of his parents were opera singers who later became teachers. He was exposed to many different languages at a young age, becoming proficient in five languages by the time he was 17, and adding English as his sixth shortly after. He consciously chose to write in his adopted language, because, he said, "all the best stories are written in English."
