![]() ![]() Author: Sabatini Rafael Publisher: Res Gestae Per i suoi tratti gotici e grandguignoleschi, la leggenda nera del vero "Grande Inquisitore", Torquemada, non ha mai cessato di affascinare. Studiare la figura di Torquemada significa studiare l'inquisizione; e Rafael Sabatini si rifà ai primi tempi del cristianesimo per seguire il sorgere e lo svilupparsi di quel tremendo tribunale e dei processi che ebbero luogo sotto la sua direzione, modello di tutti i processi inquisitoriali futuri. In questo testo, di fondamentale importanza per gli studi sull'inquisizione, viene dunque mantenuto intatto il mito sinistro e inquietante di Torquemada, fornendo allo stesso tempo al lettore una ricca documentazione riguardante l'inquisizione spagnola, tra le più efferate e spietate macchine di repressione della storia europea. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Sabatini Rafael Publisher: Donzelli Bretagna, ultimi anni dell'Ancient Regime. Andre-Louis Moreau conduce brillantemente i suoi studi da avvocato, protetto da un nobile del luogo che lo ha adottato e che si rifiuta di rivelargli le sue origini. Aline, nipote del patrigno, da sempre amata in segreto, è promessa sposa al marchese de La Tour d'Azyr, un aristocratico arrogante e reazionario, che per colmo della misura provoca a duello e uccide crudamente Philippe de Vilmorin, un giovane animato da idee rivoluzionarie e il più caro amico di Andre-Louis. Tra il marchese e Moreau scoppia così un contrasto insanabile, che è di sentimenti, di caratteri, di stili. Nel frattempo, esplode la Rivoluzione. Dopo aver infiammato con la sua eloquenza i cittadini di Rennes e poi di Nantes nelle vesti di Omnes Omnibus, Andre-Louis è costretto a fuggire per scampare alla forca e si unisce a una compagnia di teatranti, recitando la parte di Scaramouche, una delle maschere più famose della commedia dell'arte. Una nuova trasformazione porterà il nostro Scaramouche in una scuola di scherma, di cui presto, da semplice assistente quale era, diventerà il maestro riconosciuto. Tra duelli e colpi di scena, lo scontro tra i due protagonisti arriverà più volte sull'orlo del finale tragico. Ma chi è veramente Scaramouche? Di chi è figlio? Quale profondo segreto ne lega inestricabilmente il destino a quello del marchese de La Tour d'Azyr? € 25,00

![]() ![]() Author: Sabatini Rafael Publisher: Donzelli La sola cosa che Peter Blood desiderasse era vivere in santa pace, esercitando il suo mestiere di medico e fumando a tempo perso la sua pipa. E invece la violenta ribellione contro il re Giacomo II che sul finire del Seicento sconvolge Bridgewater, il paese dell'Inghilterra meridionale in cui Peter si è trasferito dalla natia Irlanda, procura improvvisamente al nostro protagonista la patente di sovversivo e l'accusa infamante di omicida. Sorpreso a curare un ribelle ferito, e ingiustamente processato per aver ordito la congiura, Blood viene ridotto alla condizione di schiavo e spedito nei Caraibi. Alle Barbados sarà comprato dal colonnello Bishop, un ricchissimo proprietario terriero deciso a sfruttare le doti del medico-schiavo, ricambiandone con reiterate violenze e continui soprusi la generosità. Tanto più che Blood avrà il torto di innamorarsi di Arabella, la (bellissima) nipote di Bishop. Finalmente Blood fuggirà - riuscendo a mostrare la sua nobiltà d'animo anche nella fuga - e comincerà così la sua vita di pirata, tra tesori nascosti, arrembaggi, intrighi politici e duelli all'arma bianca. Sempre a fianco del suo inseparabile amico-bucaniere Levasseur, sempre a rischio di cadere nelle grinfie del vendicativo colonnello Bishop, sempre alla ricerca della sua amata Arabella. E nel frattempo, la sua reputazione di pirata salirà, naturalmente, alle stelle. € 25,00

![]() ![]() Author: Sabatini Rafael, Cloy John Publisher: Barnes & Noble Scaramouche, by Rafael Sabatini, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: Raised by a supposed "godfather," Andre'-Louis Moreau knows nothing about his background or his real parents?not even his real name. All he knows is that he wants vengeance against the vicious, arrogant aristocrat who brutally murdered his best friend. As France plummets into revolution at the end of the eighteenth century, Moreau's journey toward revenge takes him through several careers, from lawyer to fugitive to actor and playwright?and eventually to member of the French National Assembly. Hiding with a troupe of itinerant actors, he gleefully plays the traditional Commedia Dell-Arte role of Scaramouche, the trouble-making trickster who, like Shakespeare's fools and jesters, speaks painful truths disguised as harmless comedy. Includes 8 pieces of original art.Rafael Sabatini was a twentieth-century Alexandre Dumas: a masterful creator of swashbuckling historical romances. Mixing real people with fictional characters and actual events with invented ones, Sabatini drew vivid, accurately detailed pictures of revolution-addled France. In Scaramouche, he turns a sweeping adventure epic into a subtle psychological study, as Moreau's odyssey gradually becomes less about revenge than about self-discovery. John D. Cloy, Ph.D., is Bibliographer for the Humanities at the University of Mississippi Libraries. He is the author of Pensive Jester: The Literary Career of W.W. Jacobs (University Press of America, 1996) and Muscular Mirth: Barry Pain and the New Humor (University of Victoria Press, 2003), as well as various articles on turn-of-the-century English literature and humor, comparative literature, and British short fiction. € 8,50
