The
adventure novels of Patrick O'Brian were often compared by critics to
the work of Jane Austen and even Homer. O'Brian was author of the acclaimed
Aubrey–Maturin tales.
He lived for many years in south west France, and died in Dublin in January
2000.
O'Brian evoked in detail an entire world — that of the British Navy
during the Napoleonic Wars.
His memorial site is maintained by his US publishers W.W.Norton &
Company. The site includes relevant links to other sites and to the long
list of films made from his books.
There is an active community of admirers affectionately known as the Gunroom
who contribute to a discussion forum and to the Patrick O'Brian Reading
Group.
