Patrick O'Brian
À propos de cet audio
Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O’Brian’s now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the greatest series of historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes his secretive ship’s surgeon and an intelligence agent. It displays the qualities which have put O’Brian far ahead of any of his competitors: his depiction of the detail of life aboard an early 19th century man-of-war, of weapons, food, conversation and ambience, of the landscape and of the sea. O’Brian’s portrayal of each of these is faultless and the sense of period throughout is acute. His power of characterisation is above all masterly. Ric Jerrom reads this classic sea story from Patrick O’Brien.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 36
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

On June 6, 1944, the greatest armada in history stood off Normandy and the largest amphibious invasion ever began as 107,000 men aboard 6,000 ships pressed toward the coast. Among them were 14,500 Canadians, who were to land on a five-mile-long stretch of rocky ledges fronted by a dangerously exposed beach. Drawing on personal diaries as well as military records, Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, June 6, 1944 dramatically depicts Canada's pivotal contribution to the critical Allied battle of World War II.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

D-Day, June 6, 1944, and the 76 days of bitter fighting in Normandy that followed the Allied landing, have become the defining episode of World War II in the west - the object of books, films, television series, and documentaries. Yet as familiar as it is, as James Holland makes clear in his definitive history, many parts of the OVERLORD campaign, as it was known, are still shrouded in myth and assumed knowledge.

Fun story, good narration
I don't go in for this sort of story much at my age but found it immediately engrossing. Good fun, great detail, and extremely talented narrator. Probably the best fit of any voice actor to any book I've listened to. Altogether, well worth it.

If your a fan of the time period, late 1700s and early 1800s. This a great novel, some parts were abit hard to follow written in old English. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Linguistic workout
Simply stunning storytelling. You have to work with both the 18th century and specifically Royal Navy terminology and way to speak but it is gloriously brought to life by Ric Jerrom illuminating Patrick O’Brian’s fascinating novel where he is able to make seemingly mundane activities through to superbly descriptive sea actions totally engrossing.

Very Good Establishment Novel
This book is very little like the film treatment (the Russell Crowe vehicle is fairly loosely based on this entire series). This one could be considered a "Prequel". It is quite slow to get going and spends the majority of time introducing and developing characters integral to the series. It relates how many in the crew came together, describes their first sloop (HM Sophie) in intimate detail, and provides very little else. There are a couple of naval battles - and they are harrowing, pulse-pounding, and loaded with clever strategies - but they feel somehow tacked-on. The book also introduces a bewildering variety of nautical terms and on-ship procedures. Unless you are very familiar with sailing in the 18th century (I am not), it could get awfully confusing. Fortunately, Patrick O'Brian is good at this (though he could have done better). He introduces Doctor Stephen Maturin as a brilliant but struggling landlubber - convinced to join the crew of the Sophie - who asks question after question from Captain Jack Aubrey and other crew members - allowing the reader to be educated at the same time as the good doctor.
This novel is worth the investment of time, but is pretty confusing if you don’t already know the characters.
Ric Jerrom is an adequate reader at best - but a very good choice for this series. He reads clearly with a very judicious use of accents.. that makes characters instantly recognizable. His reading timbre is spot-on and nautical terms are pronounced accurately. Unfortunately, on occasion Jerrom chooses to use very strong accents for some characters - sometimes making the dialogue hard to follow.
If you start here, stick with it. Later books warrant 5 stars and this one enriches them considerably. Unfortunately, this one falls victim - as a standalone - to having little in the way of a coherent plot. It's rather a series of battles and encounters designed to introduce characters and setting. It may be better to start reading with book 2 ('Post Captain'). Altogether, this first novel in the Aubrey/Maturin chronicle is worthy of 7 stars out of 10.

Great Narration
A great Narration but the story can be hard to follow given all the nautical terminology and old english. Still a great story and I will likely try out the next in the series.

A Great Sea-Faring Yarn
I loved the Audible version of this tale. I had read the novel years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The narrator of the spoken book does an excellent job of rendering different personalities and their voices. You get a vivid sense of the personalities of Aubrey and Maturin, and also of all the secondary characters, which brings their whole world to life.
And if you’re a history buff, you learn a lot about the social history of the time, politics, as well as the importance of the navies, naval etiquette, warfare and how their bureaucracies functioned. (Unsurprisingly, bureaucrats have not changed much from then until now.)
Patrick O’Brian was a gifted writer, and gives us well developed characters, adventure and a glimpse into a eventful time in history when there were great upheavals and changes politically, socially and scientifically.
I read this excellent series many years ago, and will probably go through round two via Audible books. I find that Captain Jack Aubrey, Maturin and friends are great company while cooking, painting, etc.

One of my all time facorite stories
The reader nails the performabce of this beautifully written book. I was so worried in starting as I have read the entire series twice and hoped I wouldn't be dissappointed. I am anything but! It's well read and I must continually fight not to grin like an idiot on the bus during my commute while I listen - or avast cheering when a chase is captured!
110% wort it!
