Description
"The Indomitable Hornblower" Three Complete Novels in One Book: Commodore Hornblower; Lord Hornblower; Admirable Hornblower in the West Indies, by C.S. Forester, published by Little, Brown and Company; 1963.
Hard boards [some wear]; gilt lettering on spine; 5.3/4" x 8.1/2"; private owner's stamp [Harold W. Bell] on the front endpaper and inside cover, 640 pages, very good condition.
Three thrilling tales of high-seas adventure in the Napoleonic era, which Winston Churchill found "vastly entertaining" and Ernest Hemingway recommended to "every literate I know."
"Out of the surge and the roar of the seas, the sound of guns, and the heady intoxication of a fair wind ahead, come three full length novels of that Hercules of the seas, Horatio Hornblower. In this special omnibus volume are: Commodore Hornblower, Lord Hornblower, and Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies: all complete and uncut. Horatio Hornblower is a real to most readers as Nelson or Nimitz. He is a real man sailing real ships on real seas-- hero to his crews and genius to his officers. To the reader he is an authentic human being, town with desperation and covering his sensitiveness with discipline, all too humanly involved in personal relationships which have nothing to do with the Lords of the Admiralty."
