Synopsis "UN MAR OSCURO COMO EL OPORTO. Una novela de la Armada Inglesa (Aubrey y Maturin, XVI) (in Spanish)"

Un mar oscuro como el aporto logra transmitir con extraordinaria fuerza el paso de la fragata Surprise por el cabo de Hornos. una de las experiencias más duras y peligrosas a las que se ha enfrentado hasta el momento el capitán Jack Aubrey. Pero no menos arriesgada es la misión que debe afrontar Stephen Maturin. en un momento en el que el espíritu revolucionario parece haber prendido como la pólvora en los países sudamericanos.El talento de Patrick O´Brian para recrear una época y sumergir en ella a sus lectores brilla en esta entrega con todo su esplendor. y. más allá del goce por la aventura. lo que permanece en nuestro ánimo al llegar al fin del viaje es la sensación de haber habitado. por unas horas. un mundo fascinante e irrepetible.Como bien sabe el seguidor de O´Brian. abrir un libro de la serie Aubrey y Maturin es siempre asumir el reto de vivir una gran aventura.

Richard Patrick Russ, known as Patrick O'Brian, was a British writer and translator born in Buckinghamshire (not in Ireland, as he claimed) on December 12, 1914, and who died on January 2, 2000 in Dublin, Ireland

Son of a doctor of German origin and an Englishwoman of Irish descent, he was the eighth of a family of nine children. He published his first novel in 1930, when he was a teenager, but did not return to write this genre —although he did publish several stories, biographies, and children's books— until about forty years later, an American publisher suggested he write a work in the line of the late Cecil Scott Forrester, maintaining the genre of the "naval epic" that had made him famous

Following the editor's advice, O'Brian wrote the famous characters Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, who thrived in the environment of the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Master and Commander, the first title in the series they starred in, led to the successful film adaptation Master and Commander, which featured Russell Crowe

O'Brian was an excellent translator of French, as evidenced by his translations of Papillon by Henri Charrière and several works by Simone de Beauvoir. A writer jealous of his private life, little was known about his life until the publication of his biography by his stepson, Nikolai Tolstoy.
