Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisHoratio Hornblower, only seventeen years old, gets his sea legs in this "absolutely compelling" ( San Francisco Chronicle ) first installment of C. S. Forester's classic naval adventure series. The year is 1793, the eve of the Napoleonic Wars, and Horatio Hornblower, a seventeen-year-old boy unschooled in seafaring and the ways of seamen, is ordered to board a French merchant ship and take command of crew and cargo for the glory of England. Though not an unqualified success, this first naval adventure teaches the young midshipman enough to launch him on a series of increasingly glorious exploits. This novel -- in which young Horatio gets his sea legs, proves his mettle, and shows the makings of the legend he will become -- is the first of the eleven swashbuckling Hornblower tales that are today regarded as classic adventure stories of the sea. "I recommend Forester to every literate I know." --Ernest Hemingway

Great Adventure from an Interesting Time in History
After rewatching the A&E series on Horatio, it has been so interesting to actually read the book where so many of the series' stories was taken from. This is so well written! And very exciting! Be prepared for an adventure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
