| Mr. Midshipman Hornblower was first published in 1950 by an English author, Cecil
Scott Forester, who had lived extensively in the US and who was having some of his novels
made into films. Although they were written decades ago, C.S. Forester's Hornblower books rival the best of present-day historical fiction. 'Mr. Midshipman Hornblower' is a classic. The storytelling is first-rate, the characters memorable, and the thematic appeal remains as strong as ever. |
