Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As he sails away from Port Jackson, Captain Jack Aubrey feels nothing but relief at leaving the penal colony and its inhabitants far behind. But, unknown to him, hidden among his crew is one Clarissa Oakes. With Britain at war on two fronts, with both America and France, Aubrey's orders are to make for the Sandwich Islands and intervene in the conflict there. How much trouble can one woman cause 'One moment you laugh out loud at comedy rooted in character, and the next, storming adventure or danger grips you by the throat . . . good writing allied to must-read-on storytelling.'SHAUN USHER, Daily Mail '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 MYERS, Irish Times 304 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As war with Napoleon seemingly draws to a close, opportunities for advancement are limited and Jack Aubrey faces the ultimate indignity - the possibility of being 'yellowed', or retired, and set aside with no squadron of his own. But the blockade of Brest presents dangers to equal those of the furthest shores. Who poses the greater threat to a naval man through and through A resurgent Bonaparte or the Admiralty itself 'On every page [O'Brian] reminds us with noble artistry of the most important of all historical lessons: that times change but people don't, that the griefs and follies and victories of the men and women who were here before us are in fact the maps of our own lives.'RICHARD SNOW, New York Times 'These novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of eighteenth-century life.' Times Literary Supplement 320 pp. Englisch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jack Aubrey's long service has at last been rewarded with promotion to the rank of commodore, and a squadron of ships to command. His new commission is twofold - first, inhibit the slave trade off the coast of West Africa, and then, on his return, intercept a French fleet loaded with weapons intended for the disaffected Irish. But will the conflict of loyalties be insurmountable for his friend, and Irishman, Stephen Maturin 'His novels are . . . as delicately perceptive about the human condition as the Jane Austen novels that O'Brian himself so much admired.'CHRISTINA HARDYMENT, Independent 'One of the most brilliantly sustained pieces of historical fictional writing this century.'JAMES TEACHER, Spectator 352 pp. Englisch.
