Informationen zum Autor One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O'Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. Klappentext This! the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels! establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey! R.N.! and Stephen Maturin! ship's surgeon and intelligence agent! against a thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of a life aboard a man-of-war are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck! the food! the floggings! the mysteries of the wind and the rigging! and the roar of broadsides as the great ships close in battle. Zusammenfassung The beginning to the sweeping Aubrey/Maturin series. "The best sea story I have ever read." Sir Francis Chichester"
