Biographie de l'auteur
Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 – 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836), for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847), and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling, known as Marryat's Code.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us on a captivating journey through the life of a young man growing up in the shadow of England's naval power. The author uses a vivid and often humorous style to paint a portrait of life in the Royal Navy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. We are introduced to the author's father, a seasoned sailor who finds himself caught in the web of a proud but impoverished baronet. The author's mother, a woman of ambition and questionable morals, adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. Through the author's eyes, we witness the hardships and joys of life at sea, the brutal realities of naval discipline, and the clash between social expectations and personal desires. The book explores themes of poverty, ambition, love, betrayal, and the enduring spirit of the common sailor. The authorââ â¢s use of nautical jargon and his keen eye for detail bring the world of the sailor to life for the reader, making this book a compelling and insightful look into a pivotal period in British maritime history.
