He hides out, a wanted man, as an actor in a commedia troupe, and spends his days learning how to handle a sword. When de Maynes becomes a spadassinicide, challenging opposing National Assembly members to duels they have no hope of winning, Andre becomes a politician to protect the third estate and hopefully ventilate de Maynes. Written by Kathy Li. A breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best, excellent acting from all the main characters, brilliant direction, superb over-the-top script and dialogue, first- class photography. The final duel between Stewart Granger and Mel Ferrer is the longest in screen history. But more than that: its staging is first class. The protagonists fight up and down the theatre steps of course , but also along the edge of balconies, in the foyer and even in the props warehouse. This is not just a sword fight, though: it's a display both of acrobatics and of the characters' personalities, with Granger's character exhibiting courage and magnanimity; Ferrer's is less generous but equally brave. The drama is punctuated by scenes of low humour at the clowns' theatre and high irony in the National Assembly. Both of the female leads - Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker - are stunningly beautiful.

He is a young man of intelligence and wit, known primarily for his acerbic tongue and incisive reasoning, who acts as the legal representative of his godfather, M. His best friend, Philippe de Vilmorin, is a young seminarian who also happens to have revolutionary political leanings. It is this act of bald-faced murder and the subsequent inability of the young lawyer to gain any justice from the established powers that sends young Bruce Wayne, er Andre- Louis, on his road of vengeance against the man, and the class, that killed his friend in cold blood. As we follow Andre-Louis in his quest we see him taking up the mantle left by his dead friend and using his own eloquence to stir up the crowds against their unjust masters. Forced into hiding when his name and actions become know, Moreau manages to join a travelling band of actors who mount plays based on the fading style of the Commedia dell'Arte and, after establishing himself as not only an excellent actor and writer, but even a company manager of some skill Moreau takes on the role of Scaramouche one that is uniquely suited to his outlook and abilities and proceeds to lead the troupe to the verge of fame and fortune. Along the way he falls in love and ultimately finds himself once again crossing paths with his avowed enemy, seemingly driven by the hand of fate. Suffice it to say that the nascent revolution turns the tables and thrusts Andre-Louis into a position of power. His turns of phrase, especially in the mouth of Moreau, were sublime and the text is littered with an abundance of bon mots. While I was always cheering for Moreau and loved his character, he is not always an eminently likeable guy and even the sneering and vain arch- rival the Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr manages to show himself to be something more complex than a mustachio-twirling villain. Bottom line: this book was great. Highly recommended. Also posted at Shelf Inflicted View all 21 comments. Aug 20, J. Keely rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed , adventure , pulp , favorites , italy , swashbuckling , historical-fiction. Seminal novels have a curious tendency of being very much unlike the genres they inspire. It's something I've explored before, in The Lord of the Rings fantasy , The Virginian western , and The Moonstone mystery , and Scaramouche definitely resembles the latter two in how they stray from what we might expect. Firstly, we have an unusually introspective, complex protagonist. Much less the dashing hero, we are shown a doubting cynic, a recluse who sees the cruel inequality of the wor Seminal novels have a curious tendency of being very much unlike the genres they inspire. Much less the dashing hero, we are shown a doubting cynic, a recluse who sees the cruel inequality of the world and does his best to avoid it. Yet it is a world he must live in, and so he finds himself thrust again and again into complications from which he strives to extricate himself. The second similarity with those other formative works is the quirky, meandering plot. It is certainly not what we would expect; we bear witness to only two swordfights in the book, one at the beginning, and one near the end though a few others are mentioned. The very beginning of the book is concerned mainly with the political philosophies which lead to the French Revolution. But we dispense with that rather quickly, and spend the following two thirds of the book exploring the forms and history of the Commedia Dell'Arte. But, of course, I don't have to explain about that vital and influential form to you. Like me, you probably grew up around Commedia actors, and over a hundred or so scattered performances, witnessing the infinite variations on the theme and marveling at the extemporaneous wit of its sprightly practitioners. Perhaps you, like me, had a little stuffed bear named for the old miser, Pantalone. But even a cave-dweller who had never heard of the Commedia, and did not recognize it in Pagliacci, Punch, and Pantos could derive amusement from the ways Sabitini explores it. His is not precisely a scholarly analysis, but more of a playful jaunt through the style, relating its plots and characters to the overblown melodramas which politics and social status inevitably produce. At length he leaves the Commedia behind, and we are treated to an amusing view of the different forms and schools of fencing, and of its vital place in a culture of duelists--the ideal culture for a swashbuckling tale. Like most young men, I spent my time as both student and tutor of swordsmanship, so this was another delightful moment of youthful nostalgia--though again, Sabitini merely plays on the surface of the art of fencing. I could have done with a more in-depth discussion of line, distance, and form, perhaps with some diagrams, but it was amusing, nonetheless. I was able to quickly guess the two-part 'twist' ending, but that was hardly bothersome, since it was only a small part of the book. It did nothing to lessen the delightful verve with which it was written, the complexity of the characters including a very sympathetic villain , the many and varied inspirations, and the concise structure of the plot. Scaramouche is lively, intelligent, and like most pulps, devoid of pretension, showing once again that the best way to promote skill and wit is simply to demonstrate them. View all 11 comments. What will be the end of you I wonder" It is always a gamble to re-read your childhood favourites. Lately I'v had a couple of bad hits while trying to revoke the passion towards a few books that I worshipped as a child. Scaramouche , is one of those titles. Without going into the details of the book, I am happy to conclude that after more than a decade I have a better understanding of this book. This is a story of swashbucklin "From the Robe to the Buskin, and now from the buskin to the Sword! This is a story of swashbuckling adventure, revenge, passion, betrayal, resolution and realisation of Andre-Louis Moreau , set in the background of the French countryside and the cities alike on the brink dismantling the centuries old seigneurial system with tenets of liberty, equality and fraternity. The last time I read the book the audacity acts of valour of our Hero, appeared fascinating and even memorable. However, now I clearly see that our Hero is not without faults. I did hate him at times, with his supercilious attitude directed towards those who rescued him at times of need like Binet and sometimes his peers, even M des Amis. It almost appeared that Andre-Louis felt that he was entitled to be more intelligent and be better at things than others. This time around, the book felt more realistic with my some level of cognizance of nuances of human nature. There were no heroes or villains. Just people, acting according to societal norms and behaviour expected from them. I will give a solid 4 stars to the book, it was an extremely satisfying read. S: This was the book which aroused my undying curiosity and fascination with Fencing. Alas, am doomed to ever learn it myself. S: I read the book alternating between the audiobook and the ebook. Simon Vance is one of the best narrators. He takes the pleasure of listening to a book, to another level, IMHO i.

I am delighted with this knowledge, as it finally helps me to solve one of the many mysteries of Queen. But more than that, I am absolutely delighted with the work in general. Sabatini's evocation of the heady, tense, uncertain, firecracker days before the beginning of the French Revolution of is beautifully done.

I classified this as fantasy because I believe that it is painted brightly enough to sear into my imagination as much as any Middle Earth would do. This is a swashbuckling adventure novel, make absolutely no mistake about that. There's a lot more swashing than there is actual buckling, but it is very entertaining swashing about, so I don't take issue with it. However, the sweeping, majestically romantic story conceals a wonderfully interesting historical document of the events that lead up to the storming of the Bastille, the dissolving of the Estates General, the bread riots, and the march to Versailles. To be sure, it is no mere recitation of events, but for our hero to get from one adventure to the next is dependent upon the historical events of the time. It gives the novel a depth that I was not expecting. The hero and various other characters spend a good chunk of their time reciting the beliefs of the period from all sides and having debates on philosophy. You find yourself getting very involved with their viewpoints, not merely the awesomely over the top insults and duels that follow. The novel follows Andre-Louis Moreau from his start at comfortable home as the godson of a small-time, hardworking aristocrat and a country lawyer. After the murder of his best friend, a firebrand revolutionary priest, Andre-Louis swears vengeance upon the proud, ridiculously vile Marquis who committed this act. Unfortunately, he ends up with a warrant for his arrest fairly soon on in the novel, and is forced to go into hiding in a number of guises. The most entertaining of these disguises is Scaramouche, the Shakespearean fool character of the commedia dell'arte, a role which he is more or less forced into, but ends up suiting him quite perfectly. There are several very nice 'All the world's a stage' parallels drawn, as people tie on and shed masks of all kinds throughout the novel, sometimes confusing their own identities with the characters they play, sometimes being perceived as those identities by others when really they are absolutely no such thing inside. It is simply much easier and more comfortable to sit in those roles, and so they do. But the revolution will not let Andre-Louis sit still hiding from himself, and he's drawn along through a series of alternately hilarious and gothically awful scenes towards the dizzying end. He is brilliant at everything he turns his hand to, succeeding first as a brilliant political orator, a playwright, an actor, a fencing master There is nothing that he is not equal to, and more than that, that he will not be better at than anyone else within a remarkably short amount of time. Sure, they call him heartless, some people are afraid of him, but it is only because he is such a God, you see! They are merely intimidated by his lack of weakness! The character tries to excuse this Mary Sue-ism in the last ten pages of the book, by saying that he's not really perfect because he's ended up running away from every good situation he's made for himself. But you see, it only makes him even more perfect, because he is troubled! And won't let his honor be compromised enough to stay! And if its trying to be something else, then I have problems with it. Sabatini takes up classism, and the nature v. One of the cool things about Andre-Louis is that he's largely a self made man if to an annoying degree , and from the lower classes, and a great example of why Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite should flourish. And then I felt like they took that all away when the big reveal at the end is that he's actually the son of two nobles, and they both make a point of telling him that whatever is good in him comes from them. The main character rejects it verbally, but belies this by his actions when he saves them both, succumbing to that "animal" sentimentality that he worked so hard to stay away from the whole book. Its both touching and kind of irritating. I hope that the point was that his self-made manhood and opinions were what mattered most, but I'm just not sure. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Sabatini spent far too much time talking about class and the nature of the upper and lower classes for me to not think that he meant something by it. Otherwise a greatly enjoyable bit of escapism that I would highly recommend Scaramouche was a marvellous surprise. Instead, Scaramouche surprised me at every turn. We admire his daring, eloquence, and instinctive sense of justice that transforms his outrage over the killing of his friend by a nobleman into a life of danger, even as we c Scaramouche was a marvellous surprise. We admire his daring, eloquence, and instinctive sense of justice that transforms his outrage over the killing of his friend by a nobleman into a life of danger, even as we can recognize that he fails to truly believe the ideals he espouses on behalf of that same dead friend. A second bias I had against the novel at the start was the belief that, being an old swashbuckling novel, it would be light on theme. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The protagonist's unspoken desire for some kind of purity of philosophy or political argument mirrors our own. There are troubling aspects of the novel to contend with, of course. Sabatini, writing from a place of privilege in the early twentieth century, portrays women as being creatures driven either by love or by ambition, without ever really acknowledging the social constraints that often forced them into one of those two positions. In this, Scaramouche is no worse than many or most novels, but given the work's sensitivity to notions of class, a modern reader almost can't help but wish Sabatini had turned his nuanced gaze to issues of gender. Ultimately, though, the story, with its rich sense of drama, endeared the book to me. So many times a turn would come about that I didn't expect — something that rarely happens for me with modern fiction. Given the book is almost a hundred years old and has had elements lifted from it countless times before, this surprised and delighted me. In terms of the prose, the language can be dense at times, especially for those of us accustomed to the more economical style of contemporary genre fiction, but it's worth the effort. Right from the first line Sabatini shows us the worth of his prose: "He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. View 2 comments. I have enjoyed many classics this year and Scaramouche is one of those gold nuggets not a lot of people know about. If there is another classic I can compare it to—it would be the Count of Monte Cristo. Granted, the Count is much longer since Scaramouche is about a third of the size, but both books follow the revenge plot with elements of friendship, swashbuckling sword fights, and of course—love.

To be brief, Scaramouche is about a Frenchman, Andre-Louis Moreau, who plans to avenge the death of his friend, Vilmorin. He encourages riot in the streets with his silver tongue alluding to the oppression the French people suffer every day and how rich people get away with In order to hide from authorities he joins a troupe of actors and becomes Scaramouche. He trains to become a swordsman and once he learns all he can from them sets off to avenge his friend. There are so many twists, turns and surprises I never saw coming. Once you think you know what will happen the story takes another route! Honestly, I'm surprised not a lot of people know of this book. Sabatini has been dubbed the twentieth-century Alexandre Dumas and rightly so. View all 3 comments. Really sorry that it's taken me so long to read this engaging historical romance played out against the background of the French Revolution. Filled with engaging characters it's a swashbuckling tale delivered with wonderful atmosphere. Many reviews already on offer. For a "free ebook" I had no issues at all with the quality of this edition. Time well spent. Jan 28, Perry rated it liked it. This a rollicking romantic adventure, circa , following the life, loves and transformation of Andre-Louis Moreau in the years leading up to the late 18th Century French Revolution, from cynical lawyer to comic actor playing clownish Italian character Scaramouche and, ultimately, into a swashbuckling romantic. It's no literary treasure though. If you enjoyed Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo , you will probably like this novel, even though it's not quite on the same adventure level as the works of Dumas. Not great or particularly memorable, but a good, energetic getaway nonetheless. Apr 28, Chrissie rated it did not like it Shelves: audible , classics , france , read , hf , returned , disliked.

What is delivered is an adventure story with a dash of love thrown in. There is a mystery to be solved - who are his parents? I guessed this right from the start. You shouldn't expect to learn about the French Revolution from this book even if Danton, Robespierre and Mirabeau do figure in the story. You learn perhaps a bit of the conflict between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie in Brittany at the end of the s. You watch. The characters are as if in a play. The story is told. A little humor is thrown in. I have to acknowledge that even if I didn't give a hoot what happened to Moreau he is articulate. The writing is wordy. He is easy to follow and the speed is fine, but I don't like the shrill intonations used for women. In one word - the book was boring. View all 6 comments. I read Scaramouche in the s.
