Paperback. Condición: Good. Rig the mizzen, steady your teacup, and prepare to salute a legend with a wink. Horation Hornblower (1973) by C. Northcote Parkinson ?aye, that Parkinson, he of the famous law that expands like canvas in a good wind?charts the brisk, brass-buttoned life of everyone?s favourite anxiety-powered admiral.… Published by Penguin Books , this is Hornblower the way the Admiralty likes its paperwork: crisply filed, handsomely stamped, and quietly amused that one man could out-think a flotilla while worrying about the angle of his hat. Parkinson, an historian with an ear for broadside and a pen sharpened like a cutlass, assembles Hornblower?s campaigns, promotions, embarrassments, and improbable escapes with arch precision and affectionate mischief . The tone is half quarterdeck dispatch, half clubroom anecdote: dates that behave themselves, footnotes that bow politely, and sentences that know precisely how much sail to carry. You get the full Hornblower palette? gunnery mathematics, weather as melodrama, duels with etiquette, and the eternal struggle between brilliance and self-doubt ?served in chapters that march like Marines but hum like sea shanties. Expect within: Clipped campaign sketches : the who-fired-first of naval legend, rendered with the authority of a man who?s measured a powder charge by eye. Character forensics : Hornblower?s genius, thrift, and social awkwardness, inspected like a prize taken into port and catalogued down to the last belaying pin. Ships as personalities ?frigates that flirt, ships-of-the-line that lecture, cutters that gossip with the tide. Polite satire of naval bureaucracy, where courage is rewarded, eventually, provided the paperwork survives the rain. This isn?t the cannon-smoke of fiction alone, nor the dry sawdust of archive: it?s the spoilsport biography the legend deserves , the one that tallies the myths, squints at the margins, and still lets romance tack gracefully across the page. Parkinson?s secret weapon is tone: urbane, salty, and so sure-footed you could cross a rolling deck on it. Why this copy? It sails in from the gloriously plain-spoken chandlery Crappy Old Books , certified Condition: Good ?which, translated from the King?s English, means sound binding, honest edges, pages as tidy as a newly holystoned deck . Not a museum piece, not a shipwreck?just a capable volume ready for active service on your nightstand. If you find a faint salt tang, that?s probably imagination. Or prestige. Vital stats for your logbook: Title: Horation Hornblower Author: C. Northcote Parkinson Publisher: Penguin Books , 1973 ISBN: 0140035850 Condition: Good (trim, square, seaworthy) Vendor: Crappy Old Books ?the name lists a little; the stock keeps perfect station. Buy it for the dates and dispatches; keep it for the after-echo ?that pleasant ring in the ear when a well-handled broadside lands and the sea pretends to be impressed. After a few chapters you?ll catch yourself calculating wind over deck, negotiating invitations like an admiralty treaty, and addressing everyday crises with Hornblower?s immortal tactic: look worried, act decisively, then take no credit whatsoever . Carry on.
