Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine- jacket. First Impression of the scarce tenth installment in the author's popular Aubrey-Maturin series. 8vo: [8], 371, [1]pp. Publisher's forest green cloth, spine lettered in gilt; second issue illustrated dust jacket priced £9.95 with publisher's sticker (because of the printer's pricing error, most jackets were price-clipped and repriced). A Fine, apparently unread copy (dust-soiled top edge, toning endemic to text block); about Fine jacket (spine panel with just a degree of lightening to top third only of spine panel). An uncommonly collectible copy. Cunningham A19a. The Aubrey-Maturin series is a sequence of nautical historical novels-20 completed and one unfinished-set during the Napoleonic Wars and centering on the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey of the Royal Navy and his ship's surgeon (and spy), Stephen Maturin. This tenth installment continues the story of Aubrey's exploits during the American War of 1812. The novel provided some episodes for the 2003 Peter Weir film, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Note: With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
This is another in the wonderful series of 20 maritime adventure/spy/battle/love stories created by Patrick O'Brian. Whenever possible, I recommend obtaining the single copy version of this series. The larger combined novels are poorly edited.
My only complaint: O'Brian died before bringing this narrative to a satisfying close. He had nearly done with Captain Jack Aubrey, but a whole new adventure awaited the complex Doctor Steven Maturin. Great reads!
