Одиссея капитана Блада

Peter Blood, a bachelor of medicine, accused of treason - for having helped an injured rebel, true to his Hippocratic oath - is sentenced to hard labor in the southern colonies of Great Britain. Six months later, making a daring escape from the island of Barbados on a captured Spanish galleon, he begins a new life full of adventures and dangers as the captain of a pirate ship, and soon becomes a legend of the coastal brotherhood and a terror of the Caribbean Sea. A noble outlaw, by fate found outside the law but not losing his notions of good, honor, and justice - such is the main character of the captivating corsair odyssey by English writer Rafael Sabatini, which became the first book of an authorial trilogy about the brave captain.
