Sea Hawk
Sea Hawk | Raphael Sabatini
7 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
"The Sea Hawk" is Raphael Sabatini's classic tale of nautical adventure set in the late 16th century. It is the story of Sir Oliver Tressilian who is villainously betrayed by a jealous half-brother. Being forced into slavery aboard a Spanish galley, Sir Oliver is subsequently freed by Barbary pirates whom he joins and gains the name "Sakr-el-Bahr," or the hawk of the sea. A gripping tale of action and adventure set aboard the high seas, "The Sea Hawk" is one of Sabatini's most loved and classic works.

We‘ve had a very gloomy Thanksgiving holiday and I‘ve been quite under the weather myself. Today the sun is shining beautifully and I‘m waiting to see if my breakfast is going to sit well. So the cat and I are enjoying the glowing morning while I read about the making of a pirate. #Algeria #readingafrica2022 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Texreader @Vansa I‘m really looking forward to it. I was happy to find time in my reading to squeeze it in. What other books by him do you like? 1y

This is the description of the subject of the book, apparently a gentleman who becomes a pirate particularly around #Algeria. I‘m not sure I‘d want to cross his path. #readingafrica2022 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

I‘ve spent the evening scouring Amazon for free ebooks for #readingafrica2022. Some are free with a Prime subscription and some through a Kindle Unlimited subscription. I‘ll have to add some of these to the Litsy database.

Countries covered from top to bottom: #Lesotho, #GuineaBissau, #CapeVerde, and #Algeria. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

CrowCAH I ❤️😍 loved Captain Blood!!! Can't wait to get to the Sea Hawk!!! These covers are gorgeous, too!!! 7y

ScientistSam You are in for a real treat - Sabatini is wonderful! Growing up, we had a library that had a bunch of his lesser known (and probably out of print) books. I learned so much Italian Renaissance history from those😀 Captain Blood and the Seahawk are some of his best, as is Scaramouche. 7y
