From the moment that Master and Commander, the first of Patrick OBrians sequence of 20 novels about the 19th century British Royal Navy officer Jack Aubrey and his surgeon colleague Stephen Maturin, was published in 1970, critics hailed his work as a masterpiece of historical recreation. Called "the best historical novels ever written" by the New York Times, the books have sold millions of copies. This first fullcolor illustrated companion to the AubreyMaturin series, timed to coincide with the release of the blockbuster TwentiethCentury Fox film adaptation starring Russell Crowe, explains the fascinating physical details of Jack Aubreys fictional world. An indepth historical reference, it brings to life the political, cultural, and physical setting of OBrians novels. Annotated drawings, paintings, and diagrams reveal the complex parts of a ship and its rigging, weaponry, crew quarters and duties, belowdeck conditions, and fighting tactics, while maps illustrate the location featured in each novel.
