Scaramouche

â‚¬Å“Last Wednesday he had been engaged in moving an audience of Rennes to anger; on this Wednesday he was to move an audience of Guichen to mirth....â‚¬Â

Once he was AndrÂ©-Louis Moreau, a lawyer raised by nobility, unconcerned with the growing discontent among Franceâ‚¬s lower classâ‚¬"until his friend was mercilessly struck down by a member of the aristocracy.
Â
Now he is Scaramouche. Speaking out against the unjust French government, he takes refuge with a nomadic band of actors and assumes the role of the clown Scaramoucheâ‚¬"a comic figure with a very serious messageâ‚¬Â¦.
Â
Set during the French Revolution, this novel of swashbuckling romance is also a thought-provoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individualâ‚¬s role in societyâ‚¬"a story that has become Rafael Sabatiniâ‚¬s enduring legacy.
