Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrucken. In this volume, Patrick O'Brian's two debut novels offer insight into the literary genius behind the Master and Commander series. Caesar, O'Brian's first novel written at age fourteen, tells the captivating and brutal tale of a u…nique Panda Leopard, born to a giant panda father and a snow leopard mother. With O'Brian's characteristic dry wit and precision, readers witness Caesar's tragic childhood, his capture and taming, and his eventual rise to fatherhood under human masters. Upon publication, the book garnered acclaim, leading to O'Brian being likened to a 'boy-Thoreau.' Hussein, O'Brian's second novel, is an adventurous narrative centered on a young mahout, or elephant handler, navigating life among elephants. Set against the vibrant backdrop of India during the British Raj, this exotic tale encompasses themes of love, murder, vengeance, and triumph, with the New York Times favorably comparing it to Kipling's Kim, calling it 'a gorgeous entertainment.' O'Brian noted that writing this book taught him the fundamentals of storytelling and opened a well of joy that remains. Originally published in 1930 and 1938, these novels were reprinted in 1999 by the British Library, and this new edition presents them together for the first time.

Book & Merchandise. Condición: new. Book & Merchandise. In Caesar and Hussein, Patrick OBrians two debut novels appear in one volume for the first time, providing a revealing insight into the literary genius behind the Master and Commander series he began nearly 40 years later. Caesar was Patrick OBrians first novel, written whe…n he was just fourteen, and is the enchanting, bloodthirsty story of a unique Panda Leopard whose father was a giant panda, his mother a snow leopard. With the dry wit and unsentimental precision that OBrian would come to be loved for, we see the tragedies of Caesars childhood, his capture and taming, and finally his rise to fatherhood under the iron rule of human masters. The book was feted on publication and OBrian described as the boy-Thoreau.Hussein was OBrians second novel, a glittering adventure about a young mahout or elephant handler and his life among the elephants. An exotic story of love, murder, vengeance, snake-charming, sword-fighting, spying, stealing and triumph set against the evocative bazaars and temples of India at the height of the British Raj, Hussein was compared favourably by the New York Times to Kiplings Kim, calling it a gorgeous entertainment.Patrick O'Brian later wrote of Hussein: In the writing of the book I learnt the rudiments of my calling: but more than that, it opened a well of joy that has not yet run dry.Caesar was first published in October 1930 and Hussein in April 1938 (interspersed by his enchanting book of short stories Beasts Royal in 1934). They were reprinted for the first time in April 1999 by the British Library, shortly before Patricks untimely death, and this new paperback edition brings these two enchanting novels together in one volume for the first time. In Caesar and Hussein, Patrick OBrians two debut novels appear in one volume for the first time, providing a revealing insight into the literary genius behind the Master and Commander series he began nearly 40 years later.
