Scaramouche: Beyond World's Classics

Bys: Press, Beyond Words and Sabatini, Rafael

A romantic adventure, Scaramouche tells the story of a young lawyer during the French Revolution. In the course of his adventures he becomes an actor portraying "Scaramouche" (a roguish buffoon character in the commedia dell'arte). He also becomes a revolutionary, politician, and fencing-master, confounding his enemies with his powerful orations and swordsmanship. He is forced by circumstances to change sides several times. The book also depicts his transformation from cynic to idealist...Set during the French Revolution, the tale of the man "who was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." This classic novel of swashbuckling adventure and sweeping romance is also a thought-provoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individual's role in society―a story that has become Rafael Sabatini's enduring legacy.
