Complete Aubrey/Maturin Novels FROM THE PUBLISHER
These five volumes, beautifully produced and boxed, contain over 7,000 pages of what has often been described as a single, continuous narrative. They are a perfect tribute to such a literary achievement, and a perfect gift for the serious O'Brian enthusiast.
The recent release of the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World has focused even more attention on the publishing phenomenon of the late Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels about the Royal Navy in the age of Nelson. Now, four years after O'Brian's death, his estate has agreed to release the chapters of the novel he was working on when he died. It is both fitting and moving that in these pages we are given a glimpse of Jack Aubrey raising his admiral's flag at last.
SYNOPSIS
A handsomely bound omnibus edition of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring classics, including three chapters of the unfinished twenty-first novel.
FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Norton packs all of O'Brian's great seafaring novels into one set, creating a continuous narrative, then offers (in print and facsimile) the first three chapters of the book left unfinished upon O'Brian's death. Eager readers can join Aubrey on his final voyage: a mission to South Africa. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
