Unique Elements Historical context Detailed 20th century analysis About Scaramouche “”He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”” Scaramouche is a historical novel by Italian-English author Rafael Sabatini, published in 1921. A romantic adventure story set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, it follows the story of a young lawyer raised by nobility. Taking on the role of “”Scaramouche,”” (a roguish clown figure from the commedia dell’arte), he speaks out against the unjust French government. A novel filled with wit, adventure and sword-play, this swashbuckling romance story also serves as an incisive commentary on class, inequality, and the role of the individual in society. A thrilling literary classic, and an unmissable read. —- ISBN: 9798832228983
