Free PDF Ebook Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution, by Rafael Sabatini
He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony. His very paternity was obscure, although the village of Gavrillac had long since dispelled the cloud of mystery that hung about it. Those simple Brittany folk were not so simple as to be deceived by a pretended relationship which did not even possess the virtue of originality. When a nobleman, for no apparent reason, announces himself the godfather of an infant fetched no man knew whence, and thereafter cares for the lad's rearing and education, the most unsophisticated of country folk perfectly understand the situation.

Serial writer Rafael Sabatini has done the world a service with his classic tale of love, lust, and luck. Set shortly before the French Revolution, the hero, Andre-Louis Moreau, learns more about acting, revenge, fencing, and love in his twenties than most people do in a lifetime. The storyline certainly has its moments of excitement, which will bring most adventure seekers to the tale. Based closely, but not exactly on the 1921 novel, both Hollywood productions (1923, Rex Ingram & 1952, George Sidney) made a splash at the box office; and, according to critics, Sabatini’s literary sequel (Scaramouche The Kingmaker, 1931) never met with the same success as the original. I came to this story from watching one of Sabatini’s other novel-to-film productions The Sea Hawk (1924, Frank Lloyd). Curious and impressed with the adventure and storyline, I embarked on a search for more Sabatini. A search that soon led me to Scaramouche. Yet despite all the thrills, the storyline slows down when Scaramouche involves himself with the commedia dell’arte. Sabatini infuses copious amounts of melodrama into the storyline, which at the time in the early 1910s and 20s proved popular. For adventure seekers, this makes for slow going, but if melodrama is your thing then you’ll be pleased. The great thing is that Scaramouche has enough thrills and romances for everyone to enjoy and maybe that is what makes it a classic.
