TAILIEUCHUNG - The Historical Nights' Entertainment

In approaching "The Historical Nights' Entertainment" I set myself the task of reconstructing, in the fullest possible detail and with all the colour available from surviving records, a group of more or less famous events. I would select for my purpose those which were in themselves bizarre and resulting from the interplay of human passions, and whilst relating each of these events in the form of a story, I would compel that story scrupulously to follow the actual, recorded facts without owing anything to fiction, and I would draw upon my imagination, if at all, merely as one might employ colour to fill in the outlines which history leaves. | feedboo is The Historical Nights Entertainment Sabatini Rafael Published 1917 Categorie s Non-Fiction History Source http 1 About Sabatini Rafael Sabatini was born in Jesi Italy to an English mother and Italian father.
