PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
“The best historical novels ever written.”—Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review
Description
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. 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.
Critic Reviews
“""[O'Brian's novels] will outlive most of today's putative literary gems as SherlockHolmes has outlived Bulwer-Lytton, as Mark Twain has outlived CharlesReade."”
"No writer alive can move one as O’Brian can. . . . He is the master." -- Kevin Myers - Irish Press
"Like John le Carré, [O’Brian] has erased the boundary separating a debased genre from ‘serious’ fiction. O’Brian is a novelist, pure and simple, one of the best we have." -- Mark Horowitz - Los Angeles Times Book Review
"“[O’Brian’s novels] will outlive most of today’s putative literary gems as Sherlock Holmes has outlived Bulwer-Lytton, as Mark Twain has outlived Charles Reade." -- David Mamet - New York Times
