Frank Mildmay Or the Naval Officer

Informationen zum Autor Captain Frederick Marryat (1792–1848) was an actual 19th-century British naval hero who lived a saga worthy of the novels of C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian. He survived fifty naval battles on the crack frigate Imperieuse under Lord Cochrane—the real-life model for Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey. In addition to plenty of cannonfire, battle strategy, peril, and passion—liberally sprinkled with wit and fine turns of phrase—Marryat's real-life naval experiences lend his novels a truly remarkable authenticity. Klappentext Frank Mildmay is a rogue and a rascal who cuts a memorable swath as he moves up the ranks of the early 19th-century Royal Navy. Whether seducing pretty girls ashore, braving hurricanes at sea, or scrambling aboard a French privateer with cutlass bared, Mildmay and his adventures live on! "This was Marryat's navy, his world, and no one brings it to us with greater authenticity." --Alexander Kent "Marryat's writing ... is also absorbing and delightful." --J. S. Bratton, The Novel to 1900
