Reviewers viewed the novel as it stood and in contrast to the author's later level of accomplishments in that series. Publishers Weekly , writing in , says this first sea novel by O'Brian "can stand on its own as an entertaining and psychologically astute narrative". Specifically, "Shipboard life rings true, the story never flags and humor abounds: "Well, he is a wonderful poacher for a Protestant," observes one Anglo-Irishman. Kirkus Reviews finds this novel "Not a mature piece of work, but appealing enough to satisfy fans of O'Brian's naval sagas. Tom Clark writing in the Los Angeles Times says that "evidently in keeping with an aim of appealing to a younger audience, the darker aspects of the crew's experience are played down in favor of a robust and exhilarating rendering of the great adventure of it all. Library Journal noted that this book by O'Brian "set the course they [Aubrey-Maturin series] later followed. Scott Veale writing in The New York Times was upbeat about this novel, saying that "As always, the author's erudition and humor are on display, whether he's describing the singing of the masts in the wind, the harrowing seas of Cape Horn or 18th-century superstitions. The same expedition is described from the perspective of two on one of the ships in the squadron that did not make it around the globe in O'Brian's The Unknown Shore. Mr Walter the chaplain wrote his own account of the voyage of Anson, noted by Clark above as one of O'Brian's historical sources for this novel and the interactions among the officers and crew. In , O'Brian published Master and Commander , the first book in a 20 novel series, known as the Aubrey-Maturin series. It is set in the Napoleonic Wars , begins in , and features a pair of men who become the closest of friends, Captain Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, physician and natural philosopher. Maturin has, but finds Anson's journey wasteful, as Anson noted nothing of the natural world that he saw on the journey. Aubrey is impressed that Anson made the journey and succeeded in it. The Royal Navy has changed since Anson's voyage, as have the politics of the world, with the thirteen British colonies in North America now the nation of the United States of America, the War of the Austrian Succession over, including the exit of France from nearly all its North American colonies , the French Revolution in the past, and the Irish Rebellion of also a past event. The Royal Navy and physicians have learned the need for fresh food and citrus to combat scurvy, a disease which killed so many in Anson's squadron, before this connection was made between scurvy and fresh food. The Napoleonic Wars endured so long, that they make a broad canvas of history against which the author sets the lives of his main characters, still keeping a sharp eye to historical detail and period language, which is a different structure than The Golden Ocean , which tells the tale of one long and daring voyage. In one sense, O'Brian views the long eighteenth century as the setting of his works, putting this novel in the same time period as the later series, while technically happening in two different centuries, the 18th and the 19th. They are both set in the Age of Sail , an even longer period of time than the long eighteenth century. The story is based on a real event, George Anson's voyage around the world that began in Catherine's Island off Brazil at 24 degrees South latitude, shown on this map. This novel was aimed at younger readers, as well as adults, and takes the viewpoint of a new midshipman joining the Royal Navy on HMS Centurion in on this voyage. The boy is on the one ship that makes the entire voyage, and he is one of the survivors. Seen by the midshipman Peter Palafox, the sense of the adventure is depicted, as he sees the world and learns the discipline, hardships and rewards of the Royal Navy. The hardships of the voyage are not dismissed, with counts of the deaths from scurvy, whose cure was not yet understood, and the problems of navigation without the precise knowledge of location gained by chronometers to measure longitude, depicted in detail.

I felt all refreshed and chipper when I came out of it FitzGerald's sea-sickness cracked me up, and Peter getting into a fight with the other mids.

Not to mention it's also very interesti Copypasted from my posts on LJ when I was reading it: This afternoon I went to my grandmother to enjoy a nice long bath. Not to mention it's also very interesting to see how Ransome, who was a very likeable chap to Jack Byron in the last book is now a bully just because the other boy is Irish I wonder whether he'll change. In any case it's a wonderful book so far. TGO is hilariously funny, by the way. Mr Stapleton has just explained the concept of keel-hauling to Peter. And of course any time, any time at all when logic is attempted to be applied to anything nautical. Why is the quarterdeck bigger than the halfdeck? Why go up the futtock shrouds instead of using a perfectly serviceable lubber hole that was built for the purpose? How can you spend the watch below aloft? Why call it a gundeck at all if there are no guns? Why is it called a one-decker if it has four storeys? Navy logic. And Peter was sitting across from Jack Byron at the dinner table. And he was mast-headed. I like to think that Jack was one of the other boys who were and they looked at each other form different ships but didn't know it. There was a mention of Palafox at the end of The Unknown Shore as well. Well, they would tie in, of course, but it's still a lot of fun. Not to mention that I'm getting thoroughly used to the route they're taking. I wish there were a glossary or footnotes for the Irish phrases, though. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of the Irish references like what Teague refers to, or little snippets of conversation, not to mention I can't pronounce most place names. No more talking about TGO! Chapter three awaits. Hey for home, England, and beauty. Anything else? Oh yes, Ransome has redeemed himself, which we all knew he would because Jack Byron liked him, and Keppel has no teeth left, which is kind of tragic for a little kid who's probably only just gotten his set of permanent teeth a few years ago, but he gets to have a cool lisp now, so it's okay. Now let's go harry the Spaniards! This distresses me. Unheard of! Not that that would make any difference, of course, but there's not enough there to convince me of an OTP. Only they obviously didn't, because FitzGerald never became a decent sailor and got off the ship. Upside: he didn't get a chance to die around the Horn. Downside: I didn't have time to slash him properly. I don't know. If it turns out to be Arthur, I shall be greatly amused. In any case I can't see the pairing. They're close friends by now, but meh. It'd be fun. The two of them together make up an entire Jack! Is that RPS? Is it FPS? What is it? Anyway they're very protective of each other, they've got a sort of short hand around each other, Keppel is marginally nicer and more affable to Ransome and Ransome positively dotes on Keppel, especially after the scurvy, so I think I can see this best of all, but in this book that's not really saying much. But yeah, it's not real. It's just my overactive imagination saying that something had to have kept Anson so happy during all those storms. Also, Sean thinks the earth is shaped like a cheese and Mr Saumarez wishes to press the devil into the service. I love this book. Somehow I only just noticed now what a small step it indeed is to go from O'Brian to Austen. By the way, is it just me or is there something of the later Killick in young Sean O'Mara? Mostly for myself: George, Lord Anson: But the Commodore had dealt with that: after his address to the assembled men - one of his very rare addresses, for he was not a loquacious commander - there had been no further breath of mutiny; and although the men had at first confronted their seemingly impossible task with no more than apathetic obedience, Mr Anson's certainty, his immense prestige among them, their affection for him, and the example of his cheerful, indefatigable industry had worked an extraordinary change.

Edit Did You Know? My brain suddenly 'got' the total immersion into the world of an early nineteenth century man of war and O'Brian's almost uncanny ability to capture every nuance of a Some time ago I read Patrick O'Brian's 20 book Aubrey-Maturin sequence over the course of four or five years. My brain suddenly 'got' the total immersion into the world of an early nineteenth century man of war and O'Brian's almost uncanny ability to capture every nuance of a world that is so far removed from our own through the details of everyday life and, in particular, the rhythms and intricacies of language. Few other historical novels except Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies feel so real. The Golden Ocean is an earlier naval novel, and it follows the fortunes of Peter Palafox, the son of a poor Irish parson, on Anson's circumnavigation of the s. As a rehearsal for the later Aubrey-Maturin series, it is triumphant. The subtlety and ingenuity of O'Brian's writing is astonishing, and the mid eighteenth century world he creates is as real and tangible as that of the s in the later books. There is plenty of the dry humour that lifts the mood of the later books too. A long running joke that weaves its way through The Golden Ocean focuses on one of the midshipmen's dreadful attempts at wit, and provides more laughs for the reader than he does for his shipmates. There is plenty of excitement, action and a wonderful portrayal of the natural world - all of which feature so strongly in the books for which O'Brian is most famous. Jul 20, lixy rated it it was amazing. This is is a great way to get into the POB cult and a great book to read if you've already exhausted the AUbrey-Maturin series. A wonderful, funny, touching, page-turning adventure on the high seas with 2 great main characters. I'm just sorry he didn't follow Peter and Sean for 19 more books! Mar 03, Peter Baran rated it liked it. I have tried the Aubrey—Maturin novels a few times they were my Dad's favourite but I have never really got on with them, so I thought, why not go back to something else written by O'Brian, to see if that worked. And this, heavily colloquial, even with all of its regretable Irishisms and Empire racisms, did the trick. It felt a lot older than it is, and had the verve of something that these days would be more YA - its nearly all action and very little introspection. And compared to those twent I have tried the Aubrey—Maturin novels a few times they were my Dad's favourite but I have never really got on with them, so I thought, why not go back to something else written by O'Brian, to see if that worked. And compared to those twenty novels of his most famous series, this takes place over an entire tour of duty for our lead, about four years in total of sailing around the world, battling a few Spanish, being shipwrecked et al. But I have my eye in now, so I will tackle the Master And Commander books again soon, see if they take. Oct 31, Jim rated it liked it.

I really like books that tell a story in multiple fashions, rather than just a straight third person narrative, and this one sprinkles in letters to home, thinking back across previous months, and other narrative touches that keep it fresh. I know I took a while to finish the book, but it was basically read in two spurts - one towards the end of last summer and then now, as I have resolved to close out books that are in my "Currently Reading" pile. The last half of the book was particularly interesting and action packed. If you haven't tried them yet, this is a good introduction. If you like this even a little bit, then you should certainly begin the amazing main journey of Captain Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. As I said, be sure to give Tull's narration a try. You won't go back! Jul 14, Geoff Boxell rated it it was amazing. As others have said, this is an early Patrick O'Brian novel and, although it is about life in the Royal Navy, it is an earlier Navy that the Aubrey tales.

The historical events that it covers are of course highly interesting. It's definitely worth a read, but not one of my favourites. Jul 02, Doug rated it it was amazing. The Aubrey-Maturin series is something more sublime than a novel. It's a recreated experience of two lives. The compactness of a solitary novel gives "The Golden Ocean" the ad The Aubrey-Maturin series is something more sublime than a novel. The compactness of a solitary novel gives "The Golden Ocean" the advantage of a storyline, something that is often lost although rarely missed in the twenty novels of the Aubrey-Maturin series. A great joy to read.

The Golden Ocean by Patrick O'Brian is the acclaimed author's first novel of high seas adventure, based on the circumnavigation by Commodore Anson in the Centurion with a small fleet of other ships that did not survive the entire voyage. Peter Palafox and his friend Sean leave a life of never-ending poverty in a tiny Irish village to seek adventure The Golden Ocean by Patrick O'Brian is the acclaimed author's first novel of high seas adventure, based on the circumnavigation by Commodore Anson in the Centurion with a small fleet of other ships that did not survive the entire voyage. Peter Palafox and his friend Sean leave a life of never-ending poverty in a tiny Irish village to seek adventure in a sailing ship. Never mind that they have no training or experience; they're eager for excitement, and hope to find great treasure. Peter serves as midshipman, the most junior rank, teased about his origins he and Sean are nicknamed "Teague". Through grueling hard work, they learn and survive sometimes just barely! This thrilling tale is packed with historic nautical terms, suspenseful scenes and exotic locations enhance your enjoyment by consulting a dictionary and world map often. These brave sailors didn't have accurate maps to guide them, as they sailed in wooden ships at the mercy of great ocean storms, for example rounding Cape Horn. Their objectives: to engage in battle with the mighty Spanish fleet, and seize treasure. They succeeded, but at great cost. Only a small percentage survived. O'Brian's elegant, literate, richly descriptive prose is a joy to read and savor. I think this was O'Brian's precursor novel to the famous Aubrey series and it feels like it. There's loads of great stuff, action packed, interesting characters and it all works really well - however. It's a bit soulless. It's almost as though this is a technical scoping exercise to prove that this type of novel could be written without investing too much into the emotional connection the reader could expect. It's sounds harsher than I mean!! Definitely pick this up for a read. I'll be started th I think this was O'Brian's precursor novel to the famous Aubrey series and it feels like it. I'll be started the Aubrey series shortly.. Well done! A solid 4 stars! O'brian's ability to capture the life and times aboard an 18th century Man O'War is captivating. His characters are well developed and grow into their sea-legs with every challenge. For those that love adventure and tales of the sea, this is a great read.
