	1	Dean King Patrick O'Brian: a Life Revealed New York Henry Holt 2000 0-8050-5976-8 / 9780805059762 First Hard Cover Fine Fine Biography As new, unread copy. Binding is light brown boards with black cloth spine and gilt lettering. Dj now protected inside a cover. Dean King tells the story of a man, an artist and an intellectual, born Richard Patrick Russ, who first achieves literary recognition as an adolescent, when he publishes a series of popular adventure stories. After the Second World War, he emerges as Patrick O'Brian, a writer of dark, sometimes tortured short stories and highly literary novels. He enjoyes success as a translator, even as a biographer. Slowly, the O'Brian persona, forged in his own imagination and refined by years of rumour and speculation, takes form, until his ultimate triumphant arrival as a masterful historical novelist and chronicler of the Royal Navt during the Napoleonic wars. O'Brian's past - both real and imagined - is linked directly to his writing, as he drew deeply on the painful events of his early life. It has long been assumed that he himself was the model for the polymathic naval surgeon and intelligence agent Stephen Maturin, who, along with rough-and-tumble Captain Jack Aubrey, forms the heart of O'Brian's monumental roman-fleuve. The truth is more complex: each of these indelible characters is wholly original, yet in each we can hear deep echoes of O'Brian's own history. King's biography, the first ever in this famously secretive man, is an extraordinary achievement, a vivid, searing portrait of an intense and complex human being, whose grudges were as fiercely held as his loyalties; who was as famous for orneriness as he was for brilliant artistic creation; and whose encyclopedic knowledge of everything from ornithology to Catalan history delighted hundreds of thousands of readers and will surely enthrall generations to come. Price: 10.00 GBP
