"Captain Blood" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the tumultuous period of the late 17th century, focusing on the character of Peter Blood, a skilled physician and adventurer. As a reluctant participant in the political chaos of his time, Blood finds himself caught up in the rebellion against King James II, leading to his wrongful arrest and a series of harrowing events that transform his life dramatically. The opening of the novel introduces Peter Blood, who is living a peaceful life as a doctor in Bridgewater when he observes a fervent procession of rebels gathering to support the Duke of Monmouth’s cause. Despite his personal reservations about the rebellion and the impending conflict, Blood remains unaffected until he is drawn into the fray by circumstance, ultimately leading to his arrest and trial for treason. As he attempts to navigate his tumultuous fate, the narrative sets the stage for his transformation from a physician to a man of adventure, hinting at the extraordinary journeys and challenges he will face throughout the course of the book.
