The classic first novel of the epic Aubrey/Maturin series, widely considered “the best historical novels ever written” (Richard Snow, New York Times).

Ardent, gregarious British naval officer Jack Aubrey is elated to be given his first appointment as commander: the fourteen-gun ship HMS Sophie. Meanwhile—after a heated first encounter that nearly comes to a duel—Aubrey and a brilliant but down-on-his-luck physician, Stephen Maturin, strike up an unlikely rapport. On a whim, Aubrey invites Maturin to join his crew as the Sophie’s surgeon. And so begins the legendary friendship that anchors this beloved saga set against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.

Through every ensuing adventure on which Aubrey and Maturin embark, from the witty parley of their lovers and enemies to the roar of broadsides as great ships close in battle around them, O’Brian “provides endlessly varying shocks and surprises—comic, grim, farcical and tragic.… [A] whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit” (A. S. Byatt).

Review

Praise for Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series:

“I devoured Patrick O’Brian’s 20-volume masterpiece as if it had been so many tots of Jamaica grog.” —Christopher Hitchens, Slate

“I fell in love with his writing straightaway, at first with Master and Commander. It wasn’t primarily the Nelson and Napoleonic period, more the human relationships. . . . And of course having characters isolated in the middle of the goddamn sea gives more scope. . . . It’s about friendship, camaraderie. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin always remind me a bit of Mick and me.” —Keith Richards

“O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin volumes actually constitute a single 6,443-page novel, one that should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century.” —George Will, Washington Post

“Gripping and vivid . . . a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit.” —A. S. Byatt

“[O’Brian’s] Aubrey-Maturin series, 20 novels of the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, is a masterpiece. It will outlive most of today’s putative literary gems as Sherlock Holmes has outlived Bulwer-Lytton, as Mark Twain has outlived Charles Reade.” —David Mamet, New York Times

“The best historical novels ever written. . . . On every page Mr. O’Brian reminds us with subtle artistry of the most important of all historical lessons: that times change but people don’t, that the griefs and follies and victories of the men and women who were here before us are in fact the maps of our own lives.” —Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review

“The Aubrey-Maturin series . . . far beyond any episodic chronicle, ebbs and flows with the timeless tide of character and the human heart.” —Ken Ringle, Washington Post

“There is not a writer alive whose work I value over his.” —Stephen Becker, Chicago Sun-Times

“Patrick O’Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic wars.” —James Hamilton-Paterson, New Republic

“It has been something of a shock to find myself—an inveterate reader of girl books—obsessed with Patrick O’Brian’s Napoleonic-era historical novels. . . . What keeps me hooked are the evolving relationships between Jack and Stephen and the women they love.” —Tamar Lewin, New York Times

Review

"A few books work their way… onto [bestseller] lists by genuine, lasting excellence―witness The Lord of the Rings, or Patrick O’Brian’s sea stories."
― Ursula K. Le Guin

"I love these books.… [They offer] the same sense of lived experience as Hilary Mantel.… They will sweep you away and return you delighted, increased and stunned. If the phrase ‘Napoleonic war fiction’ fills you with anticipation, then you don’t need me to convince you to read O’Brian. But for the rest of you.… [P]lease, just trust me."
― Nicola Griffith, NPR --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the Author

One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Praise for the Aubrey/Maturin Series and Patrick O’Brian

“A few books work their way… onto [bestseller] lists by genuine, lasting excellence―witness The Lord of the Rings, or Patrick O’Brian’s sea stories.”
―Ursula K. Le Guin

“Like John LeCarré, [O’Brian] has erased the boundary separating a debased genre from ‘serious’ fiction. O’Brian is a novelist, pure and simple, one of the best we have.”
―Mark Horowitz, Los Angeles Times Book Review

“[Patrick O’Brian has] the power of bringing near to the reader… savagery and tenderness, beauty and mystery and boldness and dignity.”
―Eudora Welty

“O’Brian’s eloquent admirers include not merely distinguished critics and reviewers but… thousands upon thousands of fervent readers who thank the gods for him.… [H]is work accomplishes nobly the three grand purposes of art: to entertain, to edify, and to awe.”
―Stephen Becker, Paris Review

“For escapist reading, I especially like the sea novels of Patrick O’Brian.”
―Bill Bryson

“O’Brian’s narrative… provides endlessly varying shocks and surprises―comic, grim, farcical and tragic. An essential of the truly gripping book for the narrative addict is the creation of a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit, and O’Brian does this with prodigal specificity and generosity.”
―A. S. Byatt

“I prefer the Aubrey-Maturin series to all others.… Every book is packed to absolute straining with erudition, wit, history, and thunderous action.”
―Joe Hill

“All of the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian [is on my shelves].”
―Mindy Kaling, New York Times

From Library Journal

These two selections represent a series of abridged audiobook versions of O'Brian's works narrated by Robert Hardy, that most blustery and unstudied of British actors. Hardy reads the stories cold, but here it works. He uses his voice to evoke everything from brutality to mannered drawing-room excesses to the physical threat of a storm at sea. The stories are superb depictions of life on a British man-of-war and incorporate O'Brian's exquisitely accurate historical detail (Testimonies, Audio Reviews, LJ 7/96). The friendship of protagonists Capt. Jack Aubrey and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin plays out against an expanse of ocean, from India to the Atlantic, with a full complement of battles and adventures at sea for devotees of naval fiction. Highly recommended.?Mark Pumphrey, Polk Cty. P.L., Columbus, NC

Amazon.com Review

The opening salvo of the Aubrey-Maturin epic, in which the surgeon introduces himself to the captain by driving an elbow into his ribs during a chamber-music recital. Fortunately for millions of readers, the two quickly make up. Then they commence one of the great literary voyages of our century, set against an immaculately-detailed backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. This is the place to start--and in all likelihood, you won't be able to stop. --This text refers to the audio_download edition.

The 1st installment in O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series

"The best historical novels ever written..."
-The New York Times Book Review

This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, Royal Navy, and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the road of broadsides as the great ships close in battle. --This text refers to the audio_download edition.

I can't give a better recommendation than that

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

For my commentary on this book, I'll reference the tags that Amazon asks you to choose between for the plot, mood, pace, and characters. Patrick O'Brian's work, and 'Master and Commander' in particular, is not served well by these kinds of choices. There are surprising plot elements, and ones that are foreshadowed long in advance. There are parts of the book that are light-hearted and hopeful, and parts that are very dark. The pace is slow as a walk on the island of Mahon, and fast as the seconds on the deck of an enemy ship.

In other words, O'Brian writes life. I can't give a better recommendation than that. Nailing him down as a sea-story guy or a history guy is a mistake. He writes friendships and hatred, hope and fear, and all the reasons and ways that we suffer and rejoice in little events and big. Read it.

As others mentioned, I had previously read the printed version and was terribly disappointed in finding missing material, especially the brain surgery that exemplifies the doctor's genius. When kindle came out with an update I was so hoping that the commissions had been rectified. Unfortunately they have not. This kindle edition ought to be clearly marked as ABRIDGED. I would very much like my money back Amazon. Shame on you for your sloppy work.

Tedious and boring

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

After reading the Charles Hayden series by S. Thomas Russell I was very excited to find a 20 book series based on the character Jack Aubrey. I was tempted to buy the whole Patrick O'Brien series but decided to start off with the first volume, Master and Commander. What a disappointment!

First, as noted in other reviews, O'Brien's writing in the style of old English is tedious beyond description.

Second, there is virtually no character development. I note others disagree. However, the character development here cannot even hold a candle to the character development in a book like "Where The Crawdads Sing".

Third, O'Brien's writing style leaves much to be desired. As an example, there will be a conversation between two characters and then a third person is added to the conversation with no introduction leaving you to wonder as to which of the first two characters are speaking and then you realize neither of them since a third character has been injected into the conversation.

Fourth, there are holes in the plot you could drive a truck through.

Others have raved about this series, but this will be the only book I buy, and at this point probably will not even finish it.

Cracking good stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is the first volume in O'Brian's wonderful series about the life and career of Jack Aubrey and his friend and companion Stephen Maturin, a surgeon and spy, who joins him on his very first command, the Sophie.

I only gave this first volume four stars because as others have mentioned it is a bit slow, in the beginning, as there are so many characters that need to be introduced, along with some background to give them context, and a lot of historical information necessary for the reader to understand the time and place in which series occurs.

Once the stage is set and the action begins it's a fast paced runaway that you won't want to put down, so bear with the introduction and then get to the fun!

It's Naval history, brought to life, by an author who's attention to detail and accuracy is unsurpassed by any and matched only by a very few. Blend that with his ability to pull you right into the story, until you will have trouble returning to reality when you put the book down, and you can't go wrong with O'Brian.

The greatest historical fiction series written by a 20th century author

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

The greatest historical fiction series ever written in the 20th century. It owes a debt to the authors of Royal Navy-based fiction that went before - but easily surpasses them all. O'Brian himself said that his secret was focusing on the lives, interests and surroundings of his characters, without enslaving them to mechanical plot devices. The opening scene alone, Port Mahon, April 1, 1800, sets the stage for one of best literary friendships of all time.

the story is tedious

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This story is tedious and contains a great quantity of old-time nautical terms, so much that it takes away from the story. I'm a sailor since early youth. I grew up on the water, boating, and sailing. As an adult, I spent 6 years in the US Coast Guard. So I feel I have at least a better than average knowledge of nautical terms. But found this book really stretched my understanding and caused me to stop and look up the writer's nautical terms at least every other page of the book.

The book would be much more enjoyable had the writer defined many of his chosen nautical terms. Lastly, it rabbit trails down paths that seem to dead end, not play into the storyline, or maybe just not developed yet in the book. Having said all this, I realize the Master and Commander series is heralded as a classic. that's why I decided to read it. Not one to give up on a book, I use it for nighttime reading in bed. It puts me to sleep.

Captain Book

Highly recommended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've been meaning to get round to reading Patrick O'Brian for years, having heard good things. So many other books to read though and so little time. I finally got around to reading this and now I will have to read them all. I just loved it. I can understand why other reviewers feel put off by the prevalence of very detailed nineteenth century naval terminology. Not being expert on this myself and not aspiring to be, I found it helped to think of it as analogous to technobabble in Star Trek Next Generation. 'Have you tried re-polarising the interphasic subspace matrix Lieutenant Dillon?' I don't doubt the authenticity or the exactitude of the maritime detail for a moment, though. I found it added to the sense of an unknown and different world, new to me. As did the fact that the dialogue and internal reverie of the characters often contain archaisms and Latin tags. Easy enough to Google for the most part. It's so beautifully written that you get the gist of the action without necessarily knowing what a cross jack yard is, or a quoin or orlop. None of this was a problem in Moby Dick and it's not a problem here. Indeed the language has a poetry to it which builds as you read so that soon it's like swaying on the swell inside the shipping forecast. I very quickly cared about the protagonists and found the representation of both the naval and wider worlds completely fascinating. O'Brian has an encyclopaedic grasp of his period and subject matter. The writing is mostly plain and spare but with brilliant lyrical flashes, about the lay of the sea, the set of the wind, or the quality of light for example. The friendship of Captain Aubrey and Maturin the surgeon is wonderfully well portrayed, in its mutual affection, regard and respect for difference, its tensions and misgivings, and in the profound insight each develops for the better angels in the nature of the other. I am already well into the second book in the series, Post Captain, and its clear that the level of quality there is at least as high as here. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Master & commander

I have often said that I like books with plots, but Master & Commander made me rethink that. True, I like things happening, but that’s not exactly plot. In fact, I realised, as I was reading this, that the characters that inhabit the book are most important.

The plot, such as it is, is fairly simple. In the late 18th/early 19th century, when Britain is at war with Spain and France, Jack Aubrey is given a ship to command - a fairly small, average sort of ship, if I’ve understood correctly, called a sloop. He makes friends with surgeon, Stephen Maturin and invites him to join them. And from then on, despite capturing a Spanish ship much larger than his own and other brave actions, Jack’s affair with his superior’s wife causes him to be held back from taking on more ambitious ventures with bigger ships.

Master and Commander had many things wrong with it. There was a huge cast of characters, thrown in more or less at the beginning of the book. I made a list of some of the members of the crew of the Sophie and made notes on them, but possibly I didn’t need the details of all these men.

Secondly, my knowledge of the history of the period was not great. (That’s not the writer’s fault, of course.) I didn’t know who the English were fighting - were the Spanish or the French their enemy? This was compounded by the fact that I didn’t realise that, at one time, Minorca belonged to the British.

Worst of all, I didn’t understand the difference between the various types of ships, nor, in fact, the ships’ parts. So there were large sections of the book, where I had almost no idea of what was happening. What this meant was I was missing out on the subtlety of the actions. Was this decision a wise one? Was it a particularly risky thing to do? Was it unusual? Was it something that only a very skilled seaman would choose to do? Some of these things were lost on me.

And yet, at the very beginning, the interaction between Jack and Stephen Maturin, the surgeon, had caught my interest, and for the rest of the book, I was drawn to continue to observe their relationship and see what happened to Jack and to the pair of them. Other characters were also given slightly more than bit parts, and became quite endearing. Despite my almost total lack of comprehension during some sections, I still preferred this book to other recent ones featuring characters who were either very boring or completely lacking in empathy.

There was, for example, a really nice little piece about Maturin climbing up one of the sails, or masts and feeling very nervous. It was a very human response, for a non-sailor.

If you like 'boys' adventure stories' this may be the book for you. However, I don’t think that it would be published in its current form, if it were offered as first novel of a series, today. I think there is an overload of information about the ships and their parts. I think I probably read as much as 200 pages without understanding. I believe I read somewhere that the author, Patrick O’Brian, did not know all that much about ships. That means he had to rely on research. Unfortunately, the difference between knowledge and research is that it’s a whole lot easier to get to the nitty gritty if you know a subject. If you don’t, it’s much more difficult to edit, because you don’t really understand what to take out and what to leave in. I think that it would be a better book if it had been edited, but he writes so well about his characters, and with humour, too, that I would still give it 7 out of 10, perhaps 3 stars.

Very Atmospheric Tale of the Sea.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I almost skipped this first story and would have started on Post Captain, which is the second of these acclaimed stories of the Royal Navy during the time of Nelson etc. However, I was informed that the movie of the same name is nothing like the first Patrick O'Brien novel of the same name. All the characters are there, but I think the movie is more like another Aubrey–Maturin story called the Far Side of the World. The movie was most enjoyable, so I'm not trying to knock it. I just thought I might already know the story.

Alas, I did not. The whole Aubrey–Maturin saga starts off splendidly in the Mediterranean. Our two heroes are on the island of Majorca. This is where they first meet at a concert hosted by musicians and wives of the British gentry. I was absolutely enthralled by the dialogue of these many seamen and the author presents the times wonderfully well. The characters are splendid and the action sequences are gripping. I would highly recommend this novel. Especially if you enjoy historical fiction of a nautical flavour. I will eventually read other stories of the Aubrey–Maturin series. I am now a fan.

OK, but only if you are already an expert sailor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I really, really tried to like this book but have given up on it after two chapters.

The sad thing is, I suspect that there is a good story here. However, it is mired in to much technical speak, with little or no explanation for 'Landlubbers' like me. In addition, it seems like the author has tried to write in the style of the day that the story is set and that adds yet another layer of complexity to the book, which makes for hard reading.

This is very much a Marmite book, you will either love it, or loath it. Unfortunately I am in the latter group.

The book currently has a preview on Amazon. I heartily suggest that you read that first before buying the book.

Swords and Spectres

Good, if a bit slow-going

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Master and Commander is one of those novels that, as a lover of historical fiction, and of all things nautical, I not only wanted to read, but felt was required reading at some point.

I went in with excitement and high expectations and came out the other side feeling the book lacked excitement or any meaningful direction, yet possessed various other strengths.

One of of those strengths, in fact I'd say chief amongst them, was the realism that bleeds from the pages. This could also be a weakness for anyone not used to the authentic lingo of the time. I say this as the whole novel is written in a very time-authentic manner that could quite easily turn the layman off. For me, I loved it as it gave a real sense of what it was like to be alive at the time.

Another strength was the sheer authenticity of the life aboard a naval vessel of that era. Everything from ship jargon in day to day conversations to extensive info on how certain aspects of the ship work.

Now, as much of a strength as that last one is, it also lands itself in the weakness column. On more than one occasion you would have Dr Maturin (not a naval man by any stretch of the imagination) lap up lengthy explanations of every aspect of a mast or a certain type of sail (right down to the measurements). As thrilling as it must of been to the good doctor, it felt very much like reading a naval instruction manual at times and really slowed the pace down for me.

The slowness of the pace wasn't helped by the fact that there didn't really seem to be any actual story line other than Jack being a prize-hunting captain hoping for promotion. That amounted to his ship roaming the seas in search of enemy vessels and attempting to take them. By the time the book drew to a close I felt far more involved and also that I was enjoying the story being told than I did anywhere up to the 80-90% mark.

One other annoyance for me was the formatting of the kindle version. For the most part, it's fine. There are, however, tiny parts that ruin the flow and confuse you as a reader. For instance: switching pov but only using a new paragraph rather than starting a new section, or having one character say something and the next reply on the same line rather than a new paragraph. Just little jarring things that suck you out of the reading experience and force you to check it wasn't you reading it wrong.

That feeling I mentioned near the end, however, will see me carry on with the next in the series at some point in the hope that the wave of good feeling carries on.
