Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Scaramouche begins when Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge after his best friend was killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant nobleman, Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. With his courage, intelligence and quick wit, Moreau excels as an actor, writer, fencing master, lawyer, orator and politician, and throughout this he keeps on upsetting d'Azyr in his pursuits. The expectation towards the final confrontation between these two men builds up until it is finally settled in an unexpected way. However, being a man who can fight equally well with his sword, his mind, his pen, and his mouth, Moreau stays true to his morality and doesn't allow his quest to destroy d'Azyr cloud his judgement as the world around him spirals into total chaos, testing his human character to the utmost. Filled with swashbuckling action, adventure, duels, romance, intrigue and politics, Scaramouche remains one of the most exciting historical action-adventure novels ever.
