Rafael Sabatini (1875–1950) was an Italian-English writer known for his historical adventure novels that captured the imagination of early 20th-century readers. He was born in Jesi, Italy, to an English mother and Italian father, giving him a unique perspective that would later influence his diverse literary environments. Fluent in several languages, Sabatini meticulously researched his works, ensuring the historical backdrop of his stories was accurate and vivid to the reader. His writing career began with short works and poetry but later moved to full-length novels, his first major success being 'Scaramouche' (1921), which established his reputation for combining detailed history with thrilling adventure. 'Captain Blood' (1922) furthered his fame and introduced one of his most enduring characters, Peter Blood, whose swashbuckling exploits enthralled audiences. 'The Sea Hawk' (1915), set during the reign of Elizabeth I, is another of his notable works, displaying his talent for crafting dramatic storylines with charismatic protagonists. 'The King's Minion' (1930), although not as widely recognized as some of his other works, nonetheless, exemplifies his literary style, with its detailed evocation of the past and its intricate plot. Sabatini's works have been widely adapted for film, further testifying to the vividness of his storytelling and his legacy as a master of historical romances. His work is characterized by its attention to historical detail, its fast-paced plots, and its heroic characters, marking him as one of the early 20th century's key figures in adventure and historical fiction.
