Notă biografică

Captain Frederick Marryat (1792¿1848) was an actual 19th-century British naval hero who lived a saga worthy of the novels of C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian. He survived fifty naval battles on the crack frigate Imperieuse under Lord Cochrane¿the real-life model for Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey. In addition to plenty of cannonfire, battle strategy, peril, and passion¿liberally sprinkled with wit and fine turns of phrase¿Marryat's real-life naval experiences lend his novels a truly remarkable authenticity.
