Horatio Hornblower, the central character in C.S.Forester's series of twelve celebrated novels set in the age of fighting sail when Britannia ruled the waves, has achieved cult status alongside the novels of Patrick O'Brian and Alexander Kent. In this acclaimed fictional biography chronicling Hornblower's rise from a midshipman in 1794 to a revered admiral admiral of the fleet in 1847, Northcote Parkinson has written a powerful evocation of life at sea in a British man o'war due to his attention to the minutae of naval life during the Napoleonic period. First published in 1970, but Out of Print for some years, The Life and Times of Horatio Hornblower is now available again in this timely paperback edition with new illustrations.
