Captain Blood
Rafael Sabatini
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
Captain Blood is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922. It concerns the sharp-witted Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician, who is convicted of treason in the aftermath of the Monmouth rebellion in 1685, and enslaved on the Caribbean island of Barbados. He escapes and becomes a pirate. [Wikipedia]
Captain Blood was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated swashbuckling film that rocketed Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland to stardom in Hollywood. The fast-paced historical fiction of Rafael Sabatini is often compared with that of Robert Louis Stevenson and Alexandre Dumas. [DSayers]

Critiques
Excellent !!!
A LibriVox Listener
being a truck driver presently, I have listened to hundreds upon hundreds of audio books. This ranks among the best. I highly recommended it.
Enjoyable Pirate's Tale
TwinkieToes
An honorable pirate, forced into the profession by circumstances beyond his control. An enjoyable listen. If the style of the reader for the first 3 chapters annoys you like it does me, hold on and don't give up - the readers improve from there. :)
DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS
AVID READER
A masterpiece of swashbuckling adventure. Cruel kings, crooked ministers, falsely convicted genteel doctor, bully slaver, beautiful young lady, sea battles aplenty, and an ending of poetic justice, all read by a group of very good readers. What else can I say?
♡Deliciously swashbuckling to the very end!♡

I do this every other time! I start one of these old books and give up at the 2nd chapter. I happened to read the reviews on Captain Blood and decided to jump back in again. This time, I couldn't stop. I fell in love with Peter Blood, Arabella, and all of the shipmates and Blood's faithful followers. Perfect ending with the proper amount of revenge. I searched out the other of the authors' stories to try them out.
swashbuckler

As the movie was so good, there was much more detail & swashbuckling in the written version. Almost sorry it had to end. The only solace is the next book with all it's favors I look too.
Written with passion

An excellent example of the writings of Raphaël Sabatini, the only problem that I could perceive is the fact that some of the chapters were recorded with very low sodium which was difficult to enjoy.
most excellent!
