In the fourth volume of the works of R. Sabatini included the novels “Sword of Islam” and “Dogs of the Lord” The action of the first of them falls on the time of the so-called Italian wars, when France and Spain disputed the domination of Italy and at the same time were forced to fight corsair raids in the Mediterranean. The adventures of heroes on land and at sea are truly exciting. The events of the novel "Dogs of the Lord" take place in the Anglo-Spanish War. Sabatini's affections are certainly on the side of a younger and freer England in her fight against King Philip's claim to the English crown and on the side of the English heroes who defend the dignity of the individual even in the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition.
