Revisado: 06-24-04
Simply put: O'Brian is the best historical novelist ever, and Tim Piggot-Smith is the best reader of his work. I couldn't care less about the sea -- but O'Brian's description of it grips me. His characters pulse and live, and his descriptions of their lives and times make you an eager participant. Funny, vivid, and immensely moving. If Jane Austen had decided to write Napoleonic-era sea stories, she'd have chosen Patrick O'Brian as a nom de plume.
