Résumé
"Captain Blood" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel set in the late 17th century, focusing on the life of Peter Blood, a physician who becomes embroiled in the Monmouth Rebellion. Initially indifferent to the political turmoil around him, Blood is drawn into the conflict when he is summoned to treat a wounded rebel, Lord Gildoy. Despite his intentions to remain neutral, Blood is arrested by Captain Hobart of Colonel Kirke's dragoons, who are conducting a brutal crackdown on the rebels. Blood's trial is presided over by the infamous Lord Chief Justice Jeffreys, known for his harsh judgments. Despite presenting a logical defense, Blood is unable to sway the biased court, which is more interested in swift convictions than justice. The narrative explores themes of justice, loyalty, and the arbitrary nature of power, as Blood navigates the treacherous political landscape. His story is one of resilience and defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, highlighting the complexities of human nature and the struggle for personal integrity.
