Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An intimate portrait of Patrick OBrian, written by his stepson Nikolai Tolstoy. Patrick OBrian was one of the greatest British novelists of the twentieth century, securing his place in literary history with the bestselling AubreyMaturin series, books that have sold millions of copies worldwide and been hailed as the best historical fiction of all time.An exquisite novelist, translator and biographer, OBrian moved in 1949 to Collioure in the south of France, where he led a secluded life with his wife Mary and wrote all his major works. The twenty books that make up the beloved AubreyMaturin series earned OBrian the epithet Jane Austen at sea for their authentic depiction of Nelsons navy, and the relationship between Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend and ships surgeon Stephen Maturin. Outside his triumphant popularity in fiction, OBrian also wrote erudite biographies of both Pablo Picasso and Joseph Banks, as well as publishing translations of Simone de Beauvoir and Henri Charriere.In A Very Private Life, Nikolai Tolstoy draws upon his close relationship with his stepfather, as well as his notebooks, letters and photographs, to capture a highly researched but intimate account of those fifty years in Collioure that were the richest of OBrians writing life. With warm and honest reflection, this biography gives insight into the genius of the little-known man behind the much-loved writing. Tolstoy also tells how, through a sad irony, unjust attacks on OBrians private life destroyed much of the happiness he had gained from his achievement just as his literary career attained greater acclaim. An intimate portrait of Patrick OBrian, written by his stepson Nikolai Tolstoy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
