A masterpiece of historical fiction—and a ferociously gripping adventure tale.

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.
