The English and Italian writer Rafael Sabatini is known for his adventure novels, in which the dynamism and brightness of the artistic image is closely intertwined with the real historical background. Captain Blood's Odyssey is one of the most captivating novels about pirates: salty sea winds rustle on every page, cannons rumble and boarding sabers tinkle. Doctor Peter Blood, an Irishman, had the imprudence to provide medical care to a wounded participant in the uprising of the Duke of Monmouth against the English King James II. For his mercy, Blood was ranked among the rebels and, miraculously escaping the death penalty, was sent to the plantations on the island of Barbados, where he fell into slavery to the cruel Colonel Bishop. Blood's medical art provides him with tolerable conditions of existence, but it is unbearable for him to see the suffering of his comrades in misfortune. Finally, a handful of convicts decide to escape. Having captured a Spanish ship and experienced many adventures, the fugitives find themselves on the island of Tortuga, in the citadel of the Coastal Brotherhood. From now on, the captured frigate bears the name of the beautiful Arabella, Bishop's niece, and Blood turns into the most daring, lucky, and at the same time noble and courageous pirate in the Caribbean. How will his corsair odyssey end?.. The book is illustrated with original works by Oleg Pakhomov.
