  • “Names from Hornblower”
    “Names from Hornblower” Introduction C S Forester, Hornblower’s biographer, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition he also wrote a Hornblower “companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were of course some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe in an enthralling and entertaining way what Hornblower did and what was in his mind as he encountered so much in his career. In the course of his life Hornblower came across many men and women from all levels and backgrounds. Various members of royalty and members of the aristocracy were encountered but the range of people extended from politicians, senior naval officers and soldiers to a multitude of seamen and various other “ordinary” people. Many individuals from other countries crossed his path. The three principal women in his life, his wives Maria and Barbara, and his mistress, Marie, are comprehensively portrayed as are the two men who gave him long and devoted service, Bush and Brown.
