The Yellow Admiral\Der gelbe Admiral, englische Ausgabe
Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely
acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever
written. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of their beginning,
with Master and Commander, these evocative stories are being
re-issued in paperback with smart new livery. This is the
eighteenth book in the series.
'! full of the energy that comes from a writer having struck a vein! Patrick O'Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic wars.' James Hamilton-Paterson 'You are in for the treat of your lives. Thank God for Patrick O'Brian: his genius illuminates the literature of the English language, and lightens the lives of those who read him.' Kevin Meyers, Irish Times 'In a highly competitive field it goes straight to the top. A real first-rater.' Mary Renault 'I never enjoyed a novel about the sea more. It is not only that the author describes the handling of a ship of 1800 with an accuracy that is as comprehensible as it is detailed, a remarkable feat in itself. Mr O'Brian's three chief characters are drawn with no less sympathy that the vessels he describes, a rare achievement save in the greatest of writers of this genre. It deserves the widest readership.' Irish Times
Patrick O'Brian stammt aus einer englisch-irischen Familie. 1969 begann er seine Seefahrerromane über Jack Aubrey und Dr. Stephen Maturin zu schreiben. Sie wurden international schnell zum Inbegriff spannender historischer Unterhaltung, und Millionen nicht nur maritim interessierter Leser warten gespannt auf den jeweils nächsten Roman. Durch seinen Tod im Januar 2000 verlor England den anerkanntesten Autor im Genre maritime Literatur.
