Set in 15th-century Italy, Bellarion tells a tale of love and danger, war and adventure, whose central character is a daring soldier every bit as cunning and accomplished a Peter Blood and Andre-Louis Moreau (Scaramouche). Animated by the author's unparalleled storytelling ability and enlivened by his masterful handling of historical detail, Bellarion remains one of Sabatini's finest novels.

Bellarion the Fortunate, set in the Marquessate of Montferrat and later in the Duchy of Milan, is the tale about a cunning young man who finds himself immersed in the politics of fifteenth-century Italy. Bellarion, abandoned as a child and raised in an abbey, departs as a young man with a letter of introduction from the respected abbot, intending to study in Pavia. Upon arriving in Casale he finds himself pursued by the authorities, who suspect him of complicity with a well-known scoundrel named Lorenzaccio da Trino. He flees until he reaches a palace, where a beautiful lady, who turns out to be the Princess Valeria of Montferrat, hides him from his pursuers. To show his gratitude, Bellarion offers to carry Princess Valeria's message to a certain Lord Barbaresco. He discovers that Barbaresco and a group of friends are plotting the murder of Regent Theodore, Valeria's uncle, while Theodore is plotting to keep the throne for himself. Bellarion gets involved in intrigues which lead to a murder, an arrest and a prison break, as he escapes to Milan only to find more troubles.

Excerpt ''Half god, half beast,'' the Princess Valeria once described him, without suspecting that the phrase describes not merely Bellarion, but Man. Aware of this, the anonymous chronicler who has preserved it for us goes on to comment that the Princess said at once too much and too little. He makes phrases in his turn--which I will spare you--and seeks to prove, that, if the moieties of divinity and beastliness are equally balanced in a man, that man will be neither good nor bad. Then he passes on to show us a certain poor swineherd, who rose to ultimate eminence, in whom the godly part so far predominated that naught else was humanly discernible, and a great prince--of whom more will be heard in the course of this narrative--who was just as the beasts that perish, without any spark of divinity to exalt him. These are the extremes. For each of the dozen or so intermediate stages which he discerns, our chronicler has a portrait out of history, of which his learning appears to be considerable. From this, from his general manner, from the fact that most of his illustrations are supplied by Florentine sources, and from the austerely elegant Tuscan language in which he writes, a fairly definite conclusion is possible on the score of his identity. It is more than probable that this study of Bellarion the Fortunate (Bellarione Il Fortunato) belongs to that series of historical portraits from the pen of Niccolò Macchiavelli, of which ''The Life of Castruccio Castracane'' is perhaps the most widely known. Research, however, fails to discover the source from which he draws. Whilst many of his facts agree completely with those contained in the voluminous, monkish ''Vita et Gesta Bellarionis,'' left us by Fra Serafino of Imola, whoever he may have been, yet discrepancies are frequent and irreconcilable. Thus, at the very outset, on the score of his name, Macchiavelli (to cling to my assumption) tells us that he was called Bellarion not merely because he was a man of war, but because he was the very child of War, born as it were out of the very womb of conflict--''e di guerra propriamente partorito.'' The use of this metaphor reveals a full acquaintance with the tale of the child''s being plucked from the midst of strife and alarums. But Fra Serafino''s account of the name is the only one that fits into the known facts. That this name should have been so descriptive of Bellarion''s after life merely provides one of those curious instances of homonymy in which history abounds. Continuing his comments upon the Princess Valeria''s phrase, Macchiavelli states that Bellarion''s is not a nature thus to be packed into a sentence. Because of his perception of this fact, he wrote his biographical sketch. Because of my perception of it, I have embarked upon this fuller narrative. I choose to begin at a point where Bellarion himself may be said to make a certain beginning. I select the moment when he is to be seen standing upon the threshold of the secular world, known to him until that moment only from the writings of other men, yet better known to him thus than it is to many who have lived a lifetime among their fellows. After all, to view a scene from a distance is to enjoy advantages of perspective denied to the actors in that scene. Bellarion''s reading had been prodigious. There was no branch of learning--from the Theological Fathers to Vegetius Hyginus on ''The Art of War''--to which he had not addressed his eager spirit. And his exhaustion of all immediately available material for study was one of the causes of his going forth from the peace of the convent of which he was a nursling, in quest of deeper wells of learning, to slake his hot intellectual thirst. Another cause was a certain heretical doctrine of which it was hoped that further study would cure him; a doctrine so subversive of theological teaching that a hundred years later it must have made him closely acquainted with the operations of the Holy Office and probably--in Spain certainly--...

Creator of the legendary Captain Blood, Rafael Sabatini is one of the most outstanding authors of historical adventure stories. An Italian-English author, he was called the “Alexander Dumas of modern fiction.” Sabatini was born in Italy but spent much of his youth in England and other European countries. He first achieved fame as a journalist before becoming one of the greatest adventure novelists in the history of world literature. It took Sabatini almost 20 years after publishing his first novel to gain notoriety. Success finally arrived in 1921 with the publication of Scaramouche, a novel about the French Revolution. Soon the author’s pen shifted to tales of the sea – scribbling adventures of free corsairs. Sabatini’s full talent revealed itself in books like The Sea Hawk and The Black Swan. His legendary series featuring Captain Blood became popular the world over. Today, his books are still treasured by readers and have served as the inspiration for dozens of films.
