Dear Reader,
Complex, idealistic and flawed, he is one of literature’s most beloved heroes, and generations of devoted readers
of all ages, from schoolchildren to the most sophisticated intellectuals, have avidly returned again and again to his
stirring high-seas adventures.
He is Horatio Hornblower of His Majesty’s Navy.
Gripping, vivid and graphically realistic, C.S. Forester’s “Horatio Hornblower” novels are among the greatest portrayals ever written of life and war at sea — and one of the most influential of all adventure sagas. Now, for the
first time ever, all of the eleven Hornblower novels are collected in four beautiful matching volumes.
Easton Press is proud to present: C.S. Forester’s THE COMPLETE HORATIO HORNBLOWER, a magnificent
leather-bound Collector Edition set.
These are the beloved novels that chronicle the career of Horatio Hornblower, a seasickness-suffering commoner
without wealth or connections who over the turbulent years of the Napoleonic Wars advances through the ranks
of the Royal Navy from midshipman to Admiral of the Fleet.
The fascinating character of Horatio Hornblower and C.S. Forester’s encyclopedic knowledge and unsurpassed portrayal of war and warships in the Napoleonic era have made these novels the standard against which all such stories
are measured.
“Forester’s descriptive powers are so keen that every location and battle comes vividly alive
in the reader’s imagination,” writes the Washington Post. “Elegantly written, profoundly
intelligent, historically and factually accurate, and deeply humane, [the Hornblower saga]
is that rare and precious thing: literature that entertains while it enriches.”
All the Horatio Hornblower novels in a magnificent Collector Edition.
C.S. Forester’s THE COMPLETE HORATIO HORNBLOWER will make a
superb addition to any library — or a truly impressive one-of-a-kind gift for
any fan of great literature and adventure tales.
