Venetian Masque
by Rafael Sabatini
Monsieur le Viscount was a wonderful man - at least because he was guillotinized along with countless French aristocrats, despite everything he cared about. And yet, with a twist of fate, he managed to escape and take refuge in Turin, which was out of the jurisdiction of the French authorities. But in an even more perverse twist of fate, he is taken into custody and leaves him in the hands of the gods once and for all. In this dramatic adventure, Sabatini depicts all the color and passion of revolutionary France.
