A Book of Voyages by Patrick O'brian

Honoring Patrick OBrians centenary, a collection of his favorite travel pieces, replete with perils, discomforts, and exotic pleasures.
This isn't like any other travel anthology: it is the miraculously provided answer to the now unaskable question, 'MrO'Brian, what are you reading?' And what he was reading wasn't boring. Here is both a glimpse into a vanished era and a complex and, alas, equally vanished mind. -- Richard Snow
One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso.
