Marryat F., Mr Midishipman Easy — 1982
Аннотация: Widely regarded as Marryat s best work, Mr. Midshipman Easy is based on the author s adventures sailing with Lord Thomas Cochrane. This classic seafaring tale is a fascinating account of naval life and warfare, of French prisons and love affairs, and of the midshipman s berth. Marryat s ready wit, unforgettable characters, and true-to-life details have earned him praise from Conrad, Hemingway, and Ford Madox Ford, who called him the greatest of English novelists.
