The Complete Short Stories is the most comprehensive collection of
O’Brian’s short fiction ever published. An essential volume,
certain to enchant O’Brian admirers as well as readers who are
fortunate enough to be journeying with him for the very first time.
Patrick O’Brian is acclaimed as one of the greatest historical
novelists of the twentieth century, celebrated throughout the world
for his masterful roman fleuve, the Aubrey‒Maturin series. But he
was also a prolific writer of short stories, and it is in this form
that he first made his mark. Encompassing stories written in his
unvarnished youth to tales told by a seasoned traveller, this is
the most comprehensive collection of O’Brian’s short fiction
ever published. It is a treasure chest, overflowing with riches,
containing more than sixty tales, including rarities, uncollected
works, and forgotten jewels that have been out of print for
decades. These are stories of friendship, travel, adventure and the
wonders of the natural world. Some are enchantingly funny, others
exciting, terrifying, passionate. All of them prove Patrick
O’Brian to be a true master of the form.
