BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER: Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O'Brian's now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the finest historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes his ship's surgeon and a scret agent. It contains all the action and excitement which could possibly be hoped for in a historical novel, but it also displays the qualities that have made Patrick O'Brian a literary legend: his description of the detail of life aboard a Nelsonic man of war, of weapons, food, conversation and ambiance, of the landscape and of the sea. O'Brian's portrayal of each of these is faultless and the sense of period throughout is acute. His power of charactisaton, now brought to life in a major picture directed by Peter Weir, and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, above all, is masterly.. Paperback.
