Über diesen Titel

Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O’Brian’s now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the greatest series of historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes his secretive ship’s surgeon and an intelligence agent. It displays the qualities which have put O’Brian far ahead of any of his competitors: his depiction of the detail of life aboard an early 19th century man-of-war, of weapons, food, conversation and ambience, of the landscape and of the sea. O’Brian’s portrayal of each of these is faultless and the sense of period throughout is acute. His power of characterisation is above all masterly. Ric Jerrom reads this classic sea story from Patrick O’Brien.

Have always loved the books and Mr. Jerrom does a very good Job of bringing the story to life.

Very enjoyable

At first, thought I'd never get through this as the naval terminology was so befuddling. But was soon gripped by the story and greatly enjoyed being borne away to the Mediterranean with Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. Excellent narration too, and also excellent singing voice!

Ahoy ...

Admirably narrated

Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander is nothing short of a masterpiece of historical fiction. From the very first pages, it becomes clear that O’Brian’s command of naval history and maritime detail is nothing less than extraordinary. Every description of shiphandling, naval tactics, and life aboard a man-of-war rings with absolute authenticity. The rigging, the sails, the weaponry—nothing feels forced or artificial. Instead, O’Brian immerses the reader so deeply in the Age of Sail that one almost hears the creak of timber and the snap of canvas overhead.

What makes this novel shine even brighter is how O’Brian weaves this encyclopedic knowledge into a story that never loses pace. His understanding of 19th-century naval practice is never dry or academic; it breathes life into the characters and their world. Captain Jack Aubrey’s energy and brilliance at sea are portrayed with a precision that could only come from a writer who has studied the period meticulously. Likewise, Stephen Maturin’s perspective allows readers a glimpse into natural history, medicine, and philosophy of the time—all equally convincing and richly textured.

Reading Master and Commander is both an education and an adventure. Few authors can combine such erudition with such gripping storytelling. O’Brian does so effortlessly, setting a standard that every historical novelist must envy. It is the perfect introduction to one of the most remarkable series in modern literature, and a thrilling reminder of how expert knowledge, when paired with narrative genius, can transport readers across centuries and oceans.

Really nice speaker. Nice, clear British accent and does not simply read the story, but act it out. So much more fun than reading it!

Perfectly executed - brilliant speaker
