Out of print for many years, this is a brand new edition of the
definitive companion to the acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin series of
novels, written by the author himself. What was daily life in
Nelson's navy really like, for everyone from the captain down to
the rawest recruit? What did they eat? What songs did they sing?
What was the schedule of watches? How were the officers and crew
paid, and what was the division of prize-money? These questions and
many more are answered in Patrick O'Brian's elegant narrative,
which includes wonderful anecdotal material on the battles and
commanders that established Britain's naval supremacy. The
meticulously researched text and imagery together provide an
unparalleled insight into life during wartime in the Napoleonic
era, and offer a wonderfully evocative companion to the world of
Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin.
