- Patrick O'Brian was known for being a prolific English novelist, biographer, and translator. He was best known for his Aubrey-Maturin novels set in the period of the Napoleonic Wars. The novels centered on the characters of Jack Aubrey, an officer in the Royal Navy, and his friend the physician, natural philosopher and intelligence agent Stephen Maturin. Meticulously researched, this twenty-volume series garnered enthusiastic critical reviews and a wide and fervent readership. The 21st unfinished novel of this series was published posthumously. After having an American publisher, he received notoriety, selling millions of books. Born Richard Patrick Russ, he published two books and several short stories under his birthname before changing his name after World War II. In 1949 he and his second wife moved to France. In addition, O'Brian authored biographies of Pablo Picasso and Sir Joseph Banks. His translations from French into English included Henri Charrière's "Papillion," Jean LaCouture's biography "Charles De Gaulle," and works of Simone de Beauvoir. In 1995 at age 80, he received his first award, the Heywood Hill Literary Prize for his lifetime literary contributions. In 1997 he received the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and an honorary doctorate degree from Trinity College.

Omschrijving
Tijdens de Napoleontische oorlogen krijgt kapitein Jack Aubrey de opdracht om met zijn schip een pakketboot te begeleiden op zijn tocht naar Zuid-Amerika.
Kapitein Jack Aubrey hijst de zeilen voor een reis naar Kaap Hoorn. Hij zal een Amerikaans fregat moeten onderscheppen dat de Britse walvisjacht dreigt te verstoren. Zijn vriend Stephen Maturin is als altijd zijn trouwe reisgenoot, al heeft Aubrey geen idee van de geheime instructies die Maturin heeft gekregen. Deze reis voert hen langs de Zuid-Amerikaanse kust en via de Galápagoseilanden de Grote Oceaan op, waar Aubrey en Maturin onder meer te maken krijgen met een krijgslustig volk van Polynesische mannenhaatsters. De achtervolging bereikt haar hoogtepunt in een bloedstollende confrontatie met de Amerikanen.
De avonturen van Jack Aubrey en Stephen Maturin zijn op spectaculaire wijze verfilmd door Peter Weir, met in de hoofdrol Russell Crowe.… (meer)
