Mr. Midshipman Hornblower

by C. S. Forester

Overview

Here we meet Horatio Hornblower, a young man of 17 at the start of his career as a British Naval officer fighting against Napoleon and his tyranny of Europe in the late seventeen hundreds. Bullied and forced into a duel, he takes an even chance. And then he has many more chances to show his skills and ingenuities which illustrate the quick thinking, brilliant intuition, and decisiveness characteristic of our hero.
