    About this ebook

    "In ""Sir Judas,"" Sabatini attempts to draw a group of more or less famous events using the fiction form, but without amplifying it by imagination. Each incident is an actual historic happening; the dialogue is such as was chronicled at the time, added to by the paraphrases of contemporary chroniclers; the settings are authentic. A hard task, this, the author has set himself, but his labor was lightened by being able to choose the most vivid and bizarre “nights” in all countries and all periods of history. How greatly he has succeeded is for the reader to judge.


    This story, taken from the famous pulp magazine ""Adventure,"" includes the original interior artwork."

    Author

    Rafael Sabatini

    Rafael Sabatini (1875–1950) was the son of two opera singers. Schooled in England and Switzerland, he would learn many languages. His first job was as a translator, and he would later translate for British Intelligence during World War I. He began writing historical romances for fun, and after publishing his first story in the mid 1890s, produced a new book every year for the next twenty five years.
