Biographie de l'auteur
Captain Frederick Marryat is probably one of the most important authors to write historical naval fiction books. Firstly he was one of the first authors to write such books and they must be considered as some of the most authentic as he actually served in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. He first served aboard Lord Cochrane's HMS Imperieuse when she attacked French and Spanish interests in the Western Mediterranean. Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 – 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens, noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story. He is now known particularly for the semi-autobiographical novel Mr. Midshipman Easy and his children's novel The Children of the New Forest, and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling, known as Marryat's Code.
Présentation de l'éditeur
This is an engaging story - full of twisting plot and interesting characters. Classic Marryat!! Reads very fast; a pleasure. Was it murder or self defense? On a dark night a man seeks revenge, but his son is blamed for the deed and flees for his life. In a distant city he meets the one who would betray him (himself discredited in the home town for betrayal at the trial, and beaten by the father of the boy). Again the lad must vanish - leaving comfort and promise. Marryat at his best. Not a sea-story; however, several good yarns of shipboard doing! And we meet the unforgettable Alcibiades Ajax Boggs - a name Dickens would kill to have thought of. But wait! there's more - an altogether separate short story about French and Arab troops in dramatic desert clashes - and a pretty mystery woman with a temporary, curable disfigurement.
