First line: "He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." According to Wiki, "Scaramouche" also called Scaramuccia, means a roguish buffoon character in the commedia dell'arte. A great novel, it reminds me Dumas pere books, with a lot of twisting plots, duels and plenty of historical figures, like Marat, Danton , Marie Antoinette and so on. A decade later after Scaramouche publication, Sabatini wrote a sequel, Scaramouche the Kingmaker text , which was not as well received. I wonder why. Available at Gutenberg project Available at LibriVox as an audio book. The movie based on this book is available at You Tube Stars: Stewart Granger, Janet Leigh, Eleanor Parker, Mel Ferrer and Nina Foch.

I'm glad I finally read this book that I've heard about since high school. It's a little amazing that it was written by a young woman (18 years old). After reading it, you can see how it influenced later horror books and movies. Some of my book group saw it as a warning against modern science (cloning, stem cell research, etc.). Mary Shelley was one of the Romantics, and supposedly they wanted to retreat from the "age of reason." But as a working scientist, I got a different read. I think the science was a metaphor for the power any of us has to affect the world and other's lives. Just because we can do something to change the world, doesn't mean we SHOULD. Values, ethics and common sense must be invoked.
