Just to keep everyone updated, the collection of Sabatini msyteries that has been pending for what has seemed like forever is finally moving forward. The...
Dear members of the group: In the brief but vitally important concluding paragraph of ‘Bellarion’ Sabatini describes Bellarion as ‘pale and sorrowful’....
You raise an interesting point, Aranof. Despite his "happy endings" there is a streak of pessimism in Sabatini's writing. While he pleaded for tolerance, I'm...
Dear Mr Knight, That is a possibility, of course, and not really out of harmony with the sudden euphoria he displays a page or two before, when he understands...
I think you are correct. Perhaps Sabatini was striving for an ambiguity here. (I think your very apt choice of the word "thoughtful" would have been a happier...
Not to belabor these points but perhaps to underscore them, we may note that a plurality of Sabatini heroes, especially in the later works, become alienated...
I have not yet posted a message on this group, but after seeing the recent activity I thought I might ask a question for which I have had need of an answer....
Friends, Since some have inquired previously about where to find Sabatini titles, I wanted to post this message to let anyone who may be interested know that I...
Since no one else has yet responded, David, to the very legitimate question you raise about reputation of the ‘Cesare Borgia’, I would just state two...
Thanks, Aranrof, for your insight. What you say does, unfortunately, make sense. It would be an interesting study, I think, to compare academic historical...
I agree with aranoff. About ten or fifteen years ago, I made a scan of a number of books on the Borgia that were put out after Sabatini published his Life. I...
Jesse, if you want to discuss Rafael Sabatini in a convention environment but don't think you would get enough people to fill up a hotel, why not just...
If the World Con in L.A. interests anybody as a site for a mini-conference, I can get you in touch with Craig Miller, who's in charge of programming for it. ...
Dafydd & Lee, I am of two minds on the issue. On the one hand, I have thought of a Sabatini Conference at some university or college. But since I am not...
Jesse, I would come to something like simply because the Convention is going to be in my home city of Los Angeles. Would I travel a considerable distance just...
... Yep. Craig is also local in L.A. and has been in the L.A.-based sf society LASFS since he was about two years old. I'm happy to give you his contact info. ...
Hearing the resounding silence from the list on the issue of a Sabatini-con, I think it is a subject we probably should drop. However, if somebody--Lee,...
I would attend a Sabatini Convention if it were with in a couple of hours drive. I just couldn't make the trip out to California specifically to attend one ...
... Since I'm on the east coast, I wouldn't be able to attend either, but I am willing to help with whatever contacts I have. --Lee In a message dated 2/20/05...

For some strange reason, my query didn't make it through. Basically, what is the title of the story to which you refer, Allen? Is it _The Tapestried Room_? ...
For some strange reason, my query didn't make it through. Basically, what is the title of the story to which you refer, Allen? Is it _The Tapestried Room_? ...
I'm inclined not to think the story is _The Plague of Ghosts_, for that takes place in Paris. By the way, the only second appearance of that story I know of...
I've noticed that we've gotten several new members lately, so I thought I would mention that there are a number of unreprinted Sabatini short stories in the...
