"Almirante en tierra" muestra algunas de las facetas menos conicidas de la vida de los oficiales de Marina en períodos de paz, y recrea con la fidelidad e intensidad a la que O'Brian nos tiene acostumbrados los anhelos, las ilusiones y las esperanzas de esos hombres endurecidos en el mar.
El hallazgo de una carta creará algunas complicaciones en la vida familiar de los Aubrey, pero el verdadero reto al que se enfrenta el protagonista de la serie es la enmarañada red de influencias y corruptelas políticas que impregnan el Almirantazgo, y en el que Jack deberá aprender a moverse.
Patrick O'Brian, CBE born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey Maturin series of sea novels set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, and centred on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.<br><br>O'Brian wrote a number of other novels and short stories, most of which were published before he achieved success with the Aubrey Maturin series. He also translated works from French to English, and wrote two biographies.
