En abril de 1800, Gran Bretaña se encuentra en conflicto con Napoleón. Durante un concierto en Puerto Mahón, el doctor Stephen Maturin conoce al teniente Jack Aubrey, dando inicio a una amistad que marcará un hito en la novela histórica naval. Esta obra de Patrick O'Brian, considerado uno de los más célebres cultivadores de novela histórica, destaca por sus espléndidas reproducciones de época, su atención al detalle y su perspicacia para comprender el comportamiento humano, lo que le ha valido comparaciones con Marcel Proust.

Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre 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.
