Hornblower Companion by C S Forester

In this companion C.S. Forester sets out to describe and illuminate, using beautifully drawn charts, all the incidents which his fictional hero has experienced in the Hornblower novels. He also describes how the novels were written, what inspired the adventures and how they relate to the real world of the Royal Navy.

The most famous sailor in current fiction was established in the HORNBLOWER novels. In 1966, he passed away. Forester was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1899, where his father worked for the government.
