In "The Unknown Coast", Patrick O'Brian embarks us on an unforgettable maritime adventure. Taking as a starting point the circumnavigation of the globe by Georges Anson in 1740, the novel follows the adventures of the young sailor Jack Byron and the surgeon Tobias Barrow. After a shipwreck at Cape Horn, the crew faces the inclemency of a raging sea, testing their resistance and spirit of survival. A story of courage, friendship and overcoming in the relentless setting of the English Navy.
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.
