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."
